Red spread

Description

‘Red spread’ – might it be a tropical plant? A flower or a disease blooming? Is it contagious? Isn’t it beautiful?

In my painting I’m trying to get across the feel of it in the colours. I like to work in acrylic because I like to paint ‘in the moment’. Sometimes I have an idea of what I want to paint, its been keeping me awake, sometimes I let the moment take me.

I mostly paint first thing in the morning after walking the dog, and paint until I have got the feeling down. Sometimes I’ll keep coming back during the day if something is bugging me, but rarely take them into the next day because I don’t want to lose the energy.

5 x 7 inch Acrylic on canvas board.

Photographed in natural light. Colours may look a bit different in real life, but have done my best to visually colour match!

Frame for display. Painting is UNFRAMED.
