Balance No 15

Balance No. 15 – returning to Ellen’s minimalistic style.
Balance No. 15 features balancing, coloured shapes on a cream background.

This artwork also features a textured background which you can see in the detail photos.

Balance No. 15 is an original artwork painted on a birch wooden board frame. There is no canvas. The artwork has been finished with a satin varnish with UV Protection. It has hanging wire attached so it is ready to be hung on your wall. Art work will also be signed on the back with Ellen McKenna.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to view my work. I hope you find something that makes your eyes sparkle and touches your heart.
