Spilt a 'Wee' Drop?! is an Original Acrylic Painting on Boxed Canvas by contemporary artist Anne-Marie Ellis. The piece is ready to hang and is signed by the artist. Artist Anne-Marie Ellis is known for her fashion-infused acrylic paintings, which channel her long and successful career in the fashion industry. Drawing on the iconic design illustrations of Rene Gruau, Ellis is takes inspiration from the Baroque masters in crafting her acrylic paintings, for a forcefully feminine, twenty-first century take on the classic still-life.Two, cut-glass whisky tumblers haunt Ellis's high-impact painting, as they sit, luminescent, against an inky black background. One glass has tumbled, spilling amber-coloured whiskey in fluid lines of acrylic down the surface of the canvas. A statement on luxury and a nod to the Dutch Masters of Still Life, Spilt a 'Wee' Drop?! is contemporary painting at its most desirable.

So much of this approach finds its way into the fine art that she produces today: from minimalist monochrome palettes to the textures of lace and silk; from the attention to clean lines and statement composition, to an eye for beauty in the tiniest of details, Ellis’s work is presided over by a sensitivity to sartorial design. Yet her inspiration doesn’t stop here: Ellis acrylic paintings are as much conditioned by the iconic fashion illustrations of Rene Gruau as they are by the Baroque masters, from Caravaggio to Vermeer. The play of light and shade, and the use of colour accenting, bring Ellis’s work to life with the painterly precision of the traditional still life. Just as perfume evokes a memory, so Ellis’s paintings - which so often incorporate the classic contours of iconic perfume bottles - capture sensual emotion, for a twenty-first century feminine aesthetic.
