While activating two large pieces of paper simultaneously I had thoughts of creating two abstract garden paintings that could work well together, but also work just as well singularly.
I applied paint intuitively in layers, firstly using cool colours only, followed by adding shapes, marks, lines to start forming my abstract garden views on both pieces of paper. I worked back and forth between the two pieces. I subsequently added a couple of warm colours and continued building my spontaneous markings, shapes, moving back and forth while creating the cool and warm coloured markings. A gold glaze to soften and add a slight translucent glow was my final layer on both paintings.
I painted 'Gazza, The Lawn Needs Cutting' and 'Tip Toe Through The Daisies' simultaneously and I have included a photo of them both to allow you to see how they could look hung together but they are listed separately.
The feel and look of these two pieces are a little wild and overgrown which is the exact feeling I get when looking at our back yard at the moment. We have a few rustic garden beds which are a little overgrown and neglected. Our crazy weather has not been conducive to getting stuck into gardening.
Framing required therefore my artwork photos include examples of how this painting could look framed and hung.
I paint organically therefore the dimensions include a rough 1 cm border which can be covered during your preferred framing method or embraced and be exposed once framed.
Please check dimensions, insitu images for display purposes only and may not be to scale.
