An extremely vibrant piece with luxurious, gorgeous colours.
My large Highland Cow paintings have the ‘Oh wow! factor’ and Lochnagar is no exception. Resplendent in blazing pink, red, fresh green, deep blue turquoise and gold, she adds warmth and cheerful energy to a room.
Much depends on the lighting, with original oil paintings. As oils are never framed under glass, you have no reflections to worry about and can spotlight your oil painting to very good effect. I have included a photo of the painting in situ at the Melbourne Art Festival last weekend where she had a position high on the wall over the door at Hourlier Wines. The shop uses special warm lighting to display the wines, and we trained a warm spotlight onto ‘Lochnagar’ You can see that this brought out the reds and warm pinks of the piece. In natural daylight, the cooler green, teal and sapphire blue are more prominent.
She looks equally good on a light or dark wall and is ready to hang without framing. The piece would also be suitable for framing either traditionally or in a ‘float frame’, I advise consulting a good local framer to look at all of your framing options.
The size of the painting is 30 x 40 “ which is a good size for over the sofa, over the mantlepiece, or for a dining room wall. I can create a mock-up of this painting in your space, to see how it will look, please contact me to arrange this.
