Ruby Gold Dust

The sun dips lower in the sky, casting deep shadows and highlights on the steep sand dune. Small plants nestle in the crevices and broken branches hold back the red earth.

This artwork is part of the Dune series traces areas of the coastline, sand dunes and rockpools.

This particular artwork is dynamic in composition which is amplified by the limited palette of deep earthy maroon, terracotta, brown, cream and off white.
The artwork is painted in acrylic and with highlights of charcoal and small parts of collage and gold leaf

The artwork flows over the edge of the canvas and the signature is on the edge of the artwork.
