Additional Information
Bright, Vivacious and Colourful, this painting will bring happiness to any wall.
Originally this series came about by a Leonardo daVinci drawing of ‘The Deluge’ to which I have been obsessed and inspired by for years. I admit my painting is not terribly much akin to the beautiful daVinci except in the idea of the downpour, the storm, the flood, the outpouring of energies and the raw forces of Nature. The fluidity of the paint naturally lends itself to the pour, the flow, the wash, and the cascade, the soaking. Me, thinking about ideas of immersion, flood and re-emergent energies after the rain. Water washing away the dirt of life, the cleansing, nurturing growth and renewal. The Buddhists say enigmatically ‘It always rains when the Buddha comes to town’.
Water as a subject, context and formal element seems to often find its way back into my artwork. It reveals my passionate love of the sea and all things briny particularly the influence of the locale where I grew up – overlooking Bass Strait from a hilltop farm at Flinders. The constant movement of water. The life giving nature of water and the fragility of waters of life. The storms above and below the surface. The colour formations reflected across the water. Powerful under currents, drifts, ebbs and flows. Patterns on a macroscopic scale. I find all these things meditative and worthy of contemplation.
What I enjoy most about my paintings is they make people smile with a sense of wonderment and feelings of happiness as well as making their walls sing.
ALL PAINTINGS ARE VARNISHED with Professional Quality Artists Varnish, once they have been photographed. This gives a protective surface and an exquisite sheen that really makes the colours powerful & eye-catching.
The painting is on canvas wrapped around traditional wooden stretcher bars with edges that are a smart 3.5cm deep. The edges are cleaned, staple free and painted a neutral colour to compliment the painting.
