Tiny Pleasures I

Pigments, acrylics, ink, Wenzhou paper and pencil on canvas.

This warm, abstract painting grew out of a slow process; it was built over many layers of paint creating a beautiful deep texture. The starting point for this piece has been the colour scheme of beautiful reds and pinks. This playful, dreamy piece captured the mood of the day. The painting conjures up petals drifting in a stream. The companion piece is 'Tiny Pleasures II'; I had originally painted the two canvasses as a diptych, but I think they can also hold their own. I enjoyed bold brush strokes, palette knife work and more detailed mark making in this piece. I mixed my own paint with many different hues of whites, greens, pinks, yellow and grey.

The canvas sits in white, wooden floater frame. Hooks and cord are attached at the back – the painting is ready for hanging. The painting comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
