Contemporary Art Canvas for sale|Bryce is painted in fluorescent acrylic and enamel dayglo colours

Bryce measures 200cm by 60cm.

I use only the finest triple primed canvas to protect the paint from falling through the weave. The frame is constructed from seasoned timber bearers and measures approximately 50mm deep so this is a substantial piece of art.

Bryce is a complex and very intense piece of art and has probably taken the longest amount of time to get right than almost any other painting I have produced in a while. Part of this is down to the number of individual layers it is composed of. I have lost count of the times I have applied then re-applied paint to the surface then taken it off and then put it back on again – all in the pursuit of getting the look that I wanted. It’s hard to quantify the amount of paint that I used on this piece but I know it’s a lot. Unusually I have also used acrylic paints on this piece as I needed a different finish to some of the areas than the enamels would allow. There is pretty much every colour type you can think of in this piece. That’s not to say I have deliberately set out to use a large array of different tones it just happened that way. In the picture above you can see how the addition of a spotlight picks out gold hues in the top of the painting along with other metallics. Some of the colours are very subtle and others are very noticeable.

Included in the selection of colours is the inclusion of day-glo paints. Whilst getting these to reproduce correctly in the photographs it is pretty tricky you can pick out certain areas where this paint is featured. I think it adds a really nice additional touch.
