Balmy Nights is from my new series 'Elemental' which is an exploration of prominent colours in Australian flora fauna and landscape. Two hero colours rich in their own right, a deep green and terracotta, form the base palette of this series. Individual paintings extrapolate their relationship, how they complement and contrast and their relationship in variations of hue as tints, shades and blends. Tactile textures remain a key feature of this series with some subtle simplicities including stripping back parts of some paintings to have no texture at all.

The spiral is a subtle symbol for evolution evoking an important conservation message and the need for us to nurture our planet for future generations to enjoy.

Approximately 15 layers of acrylic medium and paint are used to build the relief texture, colour overlay and detail. Accents of glass beads provide a hint of shimmer. Shapes and contours are carved into the medium, using mostly non-traditional objects. Satin varnish. Sides are clean, so it can be hung without a frame or add a frame of your choice. Signed on the side and authored on the back.

Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
