Lush Copper

This abstract landscape was inspired by the dense tropical rain forests and deep dark lush greens of trees.
The sun shimmers on the surface in ripples of metallic copper leaf.

This artwork has layers of dark forest green, a bright lemon light green, and metallic copper leaf. There are small areas of black to add depth. The metallic copper leaf changes colour depending on the angle of the viewer and light.

It is signed on the front.

Stretched and ready to hang.

I undertake commissions in any size and on stretched or unstretched canvas.
