Original artwork description:
My career as a freshwater and marine biologist sometimes comes out in my paintings, even when I don’t intend it to. This one, called “Planarians”, was named after I started working on the single dots on the red stripes and realised that the result looked a bit like a planarian, or flatworm. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of species worldwide. Planarians have an amazing ability to regenerate lost body parts; a planarian split lengthwise or crosswise will regenerate into two separate individuals. Many species will only live where the water quality is good and can be used as bioindicators.
This colourful but relaxing square abstract would look good in a variety of settings. It is ready to hang.
Materials used:
Acrylic paint applied with brushes, additional paint added and areas removed with a silicon-tipped brush whilst it was let. Additional red marks then added.
