Coming up for Air

This hugely ecstatic piece was so engaging and exciting to work on. The ground layers of burnt orange and Indian yellow, swinging from left to right, give a sense of streaming and growing heat. Whereas the veils of complex blues and cool whites cover, calm and intensify this warmth. This quality of expanding, warm colours held in check by cooler, more formed elements of blue and white creates a dynamic harmony with a sense of a distant warm light, a place of refuge and breath. The painting is custom-framed in white and is ready to hang.
