About this painting
Painted live at the Manchester Gift Show in the Trafford Centre 2012, these are the original watercolour illustrations for what became a new full-colour book William Blake's 'Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience'. The book was published in two editions: first with the title of 'Songs of Life' in a limited 100-copy edition, for a centenary exhibition about William Blake which took place in Old Paradise Yard, London, in 2015, a location where Blake lived and worked. A small number, fewer than 10, of these books remain. A second edition entitled 'Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience' was published by Pentangel Books in 2018. The audiobook was published in 2026, and by that time over 500 copies of the book had been sold.
