Red Protea

The protea flower symbolize diversity, change and courage. This work highlights the bold geometric shapes and red colour of the flower against a black background.

This painting is completed with only a palette knife to give texture, bold colour and movement.

Professionally framed in a black oak wood shadow box frame, read-to-hang.

Originally‚ I picked up the palette knife to loosen my painting technique. With a brush in hand‚ I was often tempted to agonise over the detail. I actually love the loss of control that the knife provides and the application of oil paint with its buttery texture.
