Study of a Mandolin suspended from the wall with a vase of flowers and fruit on the table in pastel shade Painted in the 1980's in her carefully cultivated naive style. Her manner was post impressionist with a strong sense of colour and form, but above all she had a spontaneity that leaps out of the painting.

| About the artist
Born: 1922

Martina was a fine artist who studied at St Martins School of Art. Her vibrant use of colour gives an intensity and glow to her works that are both charming but with a naïve quality. She was married to Eric Mellon and there is a book published by University College Chichester on her work which is available with the painting.
