Pink Sorbet No.7

Pink Sorbet No. 7 by Kate Graham. This daytime landscape features a soaring pink sky with sun, interwoven with a patchwork of red, orange, purple, green, blue and yellow fields and trees below. It is an almost surreal rural scene that celebrates colour and composition. Painted in a naive style to bring a sense of charm and delight, painted with dry-brush effect to give it a textured feel, colours are woven together in a patchwork of harmony and sometimes disharmony. The flattened perspective gives the composition a naive and whimsical feel. The painting invites the viewer to see landscapes from another imaginative point of view. This would make a striking addition to any art collection, bringing cheerful whimsy to your walls.

Painted on quality canvas, wire on back so ready to hang. Sides painted in continuation of composition, so no need to frame.
