1.8m x 90Cm, Acrylic on canvas
CARMINE BEE EATER #1
The second in a series of 3 paintings. The first being a commission from a client living in Italy. Originally there were meant to be a few birds on this canvas as you rarely see one in a shot. After trying a few layouts I rested on letting the canvas format dictace the outcome. 1.8m long and 90cm high helped focus the end result of one solitary bird flying swiftly across the canvas integrating the movement lines and splahes to enhance to motion and energy. A singular flat, grey-blue sky colour keeps the bird the centre of attention.
