The creative process is lengthy and is a calming and engaging procedure. I begin by painting an oil base layer on the canvas followed by spray paint and various immiscible liquid paints. These cause wonderful patterns and textures as they interact together. These textures are built up gradually until the painting is balanced and aesthetically pleasing.
Painted on a box canvas , the sides of which have been sprayed turquoise. The painting has been finished with a high gloss resin, which gives a rippled effect, designed to replicate water. Silver leaf is also featured in the detail.
Signed on the reverse. Strung ready to hang.
