Original artwork description:

I've been inspired to work in Oil and Wax to explore semi abstract work with thicker paint application. I'm interested in the emotions of colour and primarily in the calming moods that can be achieved by working with teal, blue and off whites. I really love the energy and vibrancy that shows when you paint waves. I hope you'll like it as much as I do.

In terms of my application of oil colour, I predominantly use a mixture of both Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd and Melanie Cambridge Oils. If a higher pigment is still required I use Michael Harding Oils. I apply between 3-7 layers of oil colour to my work dependent on complexity. I've been using Gamblin Cold Wax medium for this piece. Painted on raw linen canvas and the edges left in this shade.

Much care and attention is taken in packaging my work for both national and international delivery. This item will be packaged firstly with an acid-free tissue paper to ensure a protective layer and is then sealed in clear plastic cellophane. All corners are protected with cardboard corner protectors. It is then finished with a triple wrapping of bubble wrap with two cardboard sheets and placed into another cardboard covering.
