Oil on canvas.
Deceptively crisp - this painting has a complex central area with additional base layer below scumblings glazes and brushings, giving gentle and visually interesting undulations. Corner colour is a fleshy mix of a deep purple and a deep orange, broken with white.

This combination allowed for the dark violet lines, the wamth of which links with the orange and original crimson ground
A pushy piece which really works. I am particularly pleased wit the bottom lines which break outwards from a single stem.
