Gold!

Let’s be clear here – it’s the gold that absolutely makes this painting. Without those stunning iridescent metal flakes that sparkle in light, the whole thing would feel a lot less spectacular.

But the joy doesn’t end there. Oh no, the drama continues int to the purple and back colours that weave playfully in and out of the gold that runs through the centre of the painting.

Rivers and valleys of paint meander through tho the edges of the canvas whilst the purple tones add a backdrop of calm and tranquility – tinged with a hint of opulence.

Tranquility and calm

We all know how restful purple is as a colour and how it is perceived as a naturally calming tone. Well, I believe that;s true but it also has an opulent and seductive side to it, depending on the shade of course!

In this painting I think it kind of strikes a balance between the two. It has a split personality which is a good thing – it means it’s powerful and energetic when you want it to be but grounding and peaceful when you don’t.
