STUDIO CLEARANCE
I have reduced the price of this painting due to needing more storage space in my studio and the effect of the world economy and my income. I am hoping it helps some buyers to beautify their homes in this current situation and be able to support a sole trader - artist (that's me), at the same time.
This one was $5600, now $4300 & then the extra 10% off at checkout
Sadly, if they do not find homes, they go to God.

This is an extra-large abstract painting with a drifty meditative side. A big artwork from my 'Aqua Vitae' Series, about and inspired by wine and the ‘waters of life’ or ‘Aqua Vitae’.
This body of work was created around a commission I did inspired by the poetics and history of Wine. Although this one is more red based, it points towards a fruity nectar and lighter rose wine varietals perhaps.
In this painting the background has a gentle texture as well as the ovoid forms daintily drifting across the surface. The background in this painting has the beautiful texture with a warm underpainting peeking through the fluffy whites. Playful gestural brush marks add texture that acts as a contrast to ovoid life like forms floating peacefully on the surface. The vivacious and earthy colours of the round forms speak of a spritz and a modest simplicity on the palette.
And of course it connects perfectly with my molecular-cellular biological abstraction. Here I am really pushing the colour and light vibrancy. Life over-enlarged until all that remains is vibration, energy and colour.
Such a joy to look into the lush characteristics of wine. The generous warm tones on the palette and on the eye. The richness, generosity and depth. And then looking into the glass from above, the jewel of light coming through the colour, the wave of the swirl, which I have tried to depict in this painting. I could go on forever about the richness of these experiences and the layers of history, but the pleasure is in the artwork and the glass.
What I enjoy most about my paintings is they make people smile with a sense of wonderment and feelings of happiness as well as giving their walls interest and a splash of colour for years to come.
