This large abstract mountain is painted in soft neutrals of beige, light grey, soft linen tones, cream, charcoal and small amounts of smoky petrol blue.
The artwork has been professionally photographed but your monitor can show slightly different blue tones.

The metallic silver will change depending on the angle of light and the viewer - so it will depend on where it is hung and the amount of light as whether it looks like a bright silver or darker.

The acrylic paint has been layered in washes of colour and charcoal and pastel have been used to add detail. The cloudy sky has layers of beige, grey and white shades.

The painting flows over the edge. It is stretched and ready to hang.
Each piece measures 122cm square - with a small gap it is 2.5m and with a larger gap 2.7m

It is professionally packed and ships in a box

Signed on the front and back of the painting.

I undertake commissions in any size and on stretched or unstretched canvas please contact me
