Shifting Ground

Shifting Ground — original artwork by Angela Roskell
A striking, one-of-a-kind, extra-large abstract acrylic painting, stretched and ready to hang.
~
Created through a blend of fluid art techniques, pigments were guided to flow, separate, and merge into delicate lacework and organic cells. Sweeping ribbons of warm ochre, amber, bronze, mineral greens and grey blues move alongside creamy neutrals, sand tones and touches of smoky grey rose gold and black. Metallic warmth shimmers through the composition, adding depth and subtle highlights that shift beautifully with the light throughout the day.
