Blue Purple Pink (2021) Original Acrylic Painting by Simon Findlay

"Thinking about horizon lines and sunsets, those blues, purples and pinks. This work underwent about seven rounds, sometimes intuitive, sometimes controlled - keep layering until I’m satisfied. I tired to keep it within a very specific colour range, but ultimately it was when I moved out of the range and added the green, that the piece finished itself."
About the series: Watery paint is layered over the canvas, sometimes it adds colour, sometimes it subtracts. Whilst undertaking these works the artist would think of a motif; watermelons, horizon lines, sunsets, a single colour, Spring, or feel the emotion he was feeling; anger, relaxation, loneliness, exhaustion. To observe how these thoughts and feelings would change the process and the piece.
