falling series

 

A series of acrylic paintings on 20 x 16 inch canvas board on the theme of falling.

The first in this series of six paintings was ‘Falling’ (in orange and grey) where I was playing with playing with the idea of falling and investigating how grey changed to a lilac hue when skimmed over orange which I noticed in Horizon 13. It is the most worked of the series. I didn’t stick with the grey, but developed to using a single colour palette – each different colour brings a different mood and urgency. All the series are at first painted in a single session to bring the energy, and then refined further after the paint has dried.

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.
