This artwork is on a gessoed panel measuring 298 mm by 298mm.
 
It is an abstract representation of the stunning architecture of a tree.  The orange and peach-coloured branches complement the pale turquoise background perfectly. Delicate yellow mark making activate the surface and provide texture.
 
The tree dominates but the viewer is invited to look closer and explore the hidden subtleties in the painting including hand-pressed natural motifs.
 
The painting was created using a layering process which gives the artwork a visual depth. By using multiple layers of paint each sealed with medium a rich experience is created for the viewer. Light travels through each thin layer and then bounces back, rather like light shining through a stained-glass window. The colour assumes a richness created by the thin, glossy surface that seals each layer of paint.
 
The painting is cradled in a white bespoke frame 322 mm by 322mm.
