Artwork

Medium
Oil and cold wax on Baltic birch panel
Series
Series 1
Process
Stained and bleached panel, transparent gesso, five transparent glazes, large initial marks, five further glazes, then smaller marks and highlights.

Artwork note

Broad turquoise, green, and deep blue shapes form the underlying field. Fine red, yellow, orange, white, and blue marks gather around the lower centre and continue into darker passages at the sides. The smaller saturated marks make the transparent changes in the blue-green ground easier to see.
