Artwork Description

Inspired by red landscapes of the outback on a grey day, this abstract landscape is highly tactile with multiple layers of oil paints and gold leaf.
Sealed with a clear varnish to prevent tarnishing.

This is a triptych - each canvas measures 61 x 61cm square. Allowing a minimal 1cm gap between each canvas will create an artwork 185cm long. However spacing can be up to 10cm apart to create a 2m artwork.
The paint flows around the deep edge of the canvas (3.5cm).
