Play

Play as an exploration of pure, spontaneous energy. At 200 x 135 cm, it is a big, immersive piece filled with rhythmic brushstrokes, fluid lines, and subtle paint drips that keep your eyes moving across the canvas. It balances warm ochres, orange, soft yellows, terracotta and blush pinks, with deep forest greens and a hint of teal and black to build a palette that feels alive but still grounding. Because of its scale, it works beautifully as a focal point on an expansive wall, bringing texture, warmth, and light into open-plan contemporary homes and architectural spaces without overpowering the room.

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 like to offer 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."
