Campfire Diptych

Selecting a limited colour palette of Australian Salmon Gum, Australian Sienna and Paynes Grey I started to simultaneously apply my acrylic paint (experimenting with different amounts of water ) to my two paper sheets adding white along the way but keeping to my original selected colours.

Before my eyes I found my striking layered composition and colours rather mesmerising, conjuring up thoughts of bush camp fires of my youth......radiating light and warmth in our camp site in the cool evenings.

'Our campfire appeared to echo the starlight, as if the flames so close and so distant had so much to say to one another - by Angela Abraham'

This intriguing duo looks cohesive in their colour, design and feel when hung near each other, whether that is side by side or hung in a more vertical position. The choice is yours.

As both require framing to hang, my artwork photos includes examples of how this unique pair could look framed and hung.

Dimensions: Both are 58.5cm (W) x 42.5cm (H)
