Original artwork description:

Shelter 17

Acrylic paint, iridescent gold pigment. Most of the upper two thirds of the painting is made with gold pigments with some overpainting, and will reflect the light and change its appearance as you move around it.

The painting is on heavy hand made watercolour paper. The final painting is treated with layers of varnish to give a surface sheen and protect the paint.
A new series considering the impact of architectural structures on the land in the light of the ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright. "Architecture should be of the land, not on the land"
The layered paintings in this series show marks and imagery layered upon each other over a long period of time, in the same way that happens to the land and subsequent structures upon it.
Buildings emerge sometimes indistinctly, sometimes with force and clarity from the land around them.
Juxtaposition is a constant theme also in the paintings, the way that a structure opposes or harmonises with its surrounding, the way that old and modern architecture can co-exist. The paintings methods reflect this in the way that styles and types of brush strokes are juxtaposed, and through the use of colour; where an unusual or startling colour choice might be made.
Landscape and architecture forming a layered palimpsest.
