Continuing an affair with proteas, this oil on canvas is still very wet, ready for shipping end January 2020. Every painting or artwork has a back story, this one started out as an abstract odd shape that just wasn’t working as I’d imagined it, so gave in and gave up and turned it into its current form. You may notice two yellow shapes near the stem and leaves, these are from the painting below, thought they make it a little more interesting to retain so left in place. Three side are painted in the background colour and the right side is white, no particular reason other than I liked the idea at the time. (If interested in this work and would prefer all side the same colour – happy to oblige).
As the paint is still wet, it is difficult to photograph, the wetter areas pick up the light and reflect back making the colours particularly the background look slightly patchy. As it dries over the next weeks I’ll update the image to be more accurate. Will be supplied with final coat of satin varnish.
