colouramas

 

A series of acrylic paintings on 5×7, 10×12 and 20×16 inch canvas boards playing with colour.

Colouramas are always about the juxtaposition of colours in the same family, opposites or complementary. How they look together and what happens when they meet, and what happens when the canvas is left bare. They are intuitive paintings, reflecting how I was feeling, both in colour and energy. Some are inspired by something in the real world, but mostly they are not.

My intent in my painting is for them to resonate with you and to join me in the feeling.

I’m a big fan of Craigie Aitchison, David Hockney, Donald Hamilton Fraser, Howard Hodgkin, Barbara Hepworth and Barbara Rae and hope I am channelling those artists, who for me, connect so well with us.

All the paintings have been photographed in natural light. Colours may look a bit different in real life, but have done my best to visually colour match. Frames shown are for display, they are UNFRAMED unless stated otherwise.
