Lavishly Red
Oil on Canvas
36 x 24
2 of a series of 3 large paintings. The topic appears to be pears but the underlying theme is space and seeing how the mood and intimacy of a painting changes when you place your subject near the top of the canvas or place it close to the bottom - and of course light. I also played around with colour, Illumine has an analogous colour scheme, the colours being in the yellow/red-orange family while Lavishly Red is based on the complementary colours of red and a very subtle dark green/grey.
These have been shipped off to Vancouver to be part of an opening exhibit for The Bay as they celebrate their national campaign ‘Artful Living’
