Artwork Description

'Desert Hush' is an original acrylic painting by Cheryl Harrison.

It is a large-scale contemporary abstract painting pairing the soft look of open sand dunes with the hard, erratic lines of rocky terrain. The composition layers loose sweeps of cream, sand, and warm ochre and terracotta alongside deep slate green/blue, grey blocks and sharp, raw charcoal markings. Designed with a clean, modern aesthetic, its balanced palette of earthy tones and deep neutrals brings a raw, organic texture and atmospheric presence to contemporary living spaces and architectural interiors.

This painting is initialed on the front and signed and titled on the back with a Letter of Authenticity.

PLEASE NOTE: This painting is acrylic on un-stretched canvas and comes rolled in a tube. (Requires Stretching/Framing to hang)

STRETCHING & FRAMING OPTIONS:
I give my collectors the chance to purchase my paintings either:

- UN-STRETCHED - artwork shipped rolled in a tube.

- STRETCHED ONLY - artwork professionally stretched and wired ready to hang. This highlights the artwork edges which allows the painting to seamlessly extend around all four edges, and looks great without the additional cost of purchasing a decorative frame.

- STRETCHED & FRAMED - artwork professionally stretched and framed with a choose of either a white, black or natural wood finish, then wired ready to hang,

For stretching and/or framing, utilise Bluethumb’s framing options to the right of screen above the 'ADD TO CART' button.

“I’ve lived a little. I’ve travelled a lot. My work is an expression of life experiences good times and bad. I begin with a feeling and end wherever the music and the paint takes me. I’m not trying to answer life’s riddles, it’s more like… this is how I’m feeling."
