Acrylic on canvas

Signed on the front.

Most days I surround myself with sound, whether is be the TV, music, or a podcast. But occasionally I crave silence. Even with everything turned off there is rarely complete silence. There is the sound of the water fountain in my courtyard, birds, wind chimes or traffic. But occasionally this background noise is punctuated by bubbles of intermittent silence where for a moment there is absolutely no sound at all. These silences can be found between words, breaths and even thoughts. Now aware, I listen for them. I felt driven to paint this phenomenon and this is the result.

Every line and block of colour has been handprinted onto a canvas sheet, which can be placed into a store-bought A2 picture frame, or professionally framed (Bluethumb staff will be happy to organise this for you.). The above photo showing painting framed is for demonstration purposes only.
