the ‘horizon’ series of paintings

Horizons acrylic paintings are always about the juxtaposition of colours. How they look together and what happens when they meet, and what happens when the canvas is left bare.

I’ve called them ‘Horizon’ because they are a bit like a landscape – where sky and land or sea meet, they aren’t real landscapes, but they influenced by real skies, especially sunsets and how there are a myriad of colours to be found in them. Skies are an endless fascination to me as they are rarely the same, there are a year of skies in the #treetwoproject.

I work on these at different sizes depending on my mood. And some are a vehicle for specific colour experiments, for instance Horizons 12, 13 and 14 all investigate how a grey made from the signature colour (i.e. orange) plus black and white looks so different when it meets and is laid over the signature colour, as does the black in the bottom section.

Horizons – a series of acrylic paintings on various size canvas boards and paper playing with colour.

Horizons is a theme I keep coming back to.
