This is another painting that attempts to re-create the feelings that arise from the experience of entering a world that exists in the realm of ‘elsewhere’. That moment when you feel part of an infinite space and the immensity of that space creates an unexpected intimacy and contentedness within you.
This painting has been created on a framed wooden cradle board. It is a mixed media piece comprising of Acrylic Paint, Graphite, Oil Pastel, Ink, Coloured Pencil and Collage (including a mix of vintage paper and paper hand made by the artist). The painting is 31cm by 31cm, has been sealed with three layers of satin varnish to protect the work and comes ready to hang.
'Floating' has over 10 layers of paint and collage contained within it. Building it up layer by layer creates depth, texture and history. The lumps and bumps on the surface make it almost tactile and the interplay of shape next to line, collage next to paint and colour next to monocrome creates interest and drama within the piece.
Floating
This painting is framed and ready to hang. (You just have to decide where it's going to live!). It has been finished with a sealing coat of acrylic medium and then varnished with three layers of Satin Polymer Varnish with UVLS (Ultra-Violet Light Stabiliser) for protection. Use a dry, lint free, cloth for dusting.
