Original artwork description:

Earthly Delights 6 - Oil on canvas 25x10x2cm (10x8 inch) Signed on the reverse.

This painting is from a series of six small oil paintings inspired by a documentary I saw recently. It was about an island in Hawaii where there was an active volcano.

I was really fascinated by the visual imagery of the molten lava flowing into the sea and creating new land. The combination of the fiery red and orange the cool blue grey smoke and the black rock that was being formed was really arresting.

These fiery paintings are inspired by magma flows and volcanic land formations. Out of the fire comes new forms and new life.
.
This painting is made in layers each responding to the one beneath, the rich glazes give depth to the image. I discovered as I worked that the colours blended beautifully together creating some unexpected delights in the brushwork.

This painting will be shipped together with a certificate of Authenticity from the studio. It is signed on the reverse and can be hung immediately unframed. If you wish to frame the piece I recommend a simple tray frame.
