New White and Orange Moth Painting

I was particularly intrigued by a moth I saw the other day and so decided to paint a picture of it. The background is orange and I have then painted the moth with numerous dots and spots of white paint. This method of painting shares some similar features with the Pointillist art style. There’s also something fascinating about taking a very small insect and enlarging it on to a really large 160 cm x 112 cm canvas.

I recently painted a sheep in this way and am hoping to paint more very large canvases in this dot and spot style over the next few weeks.

Oatmeal Brown Spot and Dot Paintings

Some of my favourite large paintings to create are my ‘spot and dot’ canvases. They feature lots of circular dots of paint and a few long drips of paint as well. Usually I paint them with many different colours, though occasionally I like to explore a monochrome palette, such as black and white.

These two paintings were created at the request of someone who wanted colourful paintings but with oatmeal / light brown paint featuring heavily. I decided to paint two canvases that were quite similar. However, even subtle differences in the application of the different paints can result in paintings that have a noticeably different finished appearance to one another.

Three New Very Large Tree Paintings

I paint quite a few abstract tree paintings. They’re enjoyable to paint and also popular with my customers.

My stretched canvases are typically no larger than 81 x 60 cm. Paintings that are larger than that are painted on un-stretched canvases. That is to say that the canvases are loose sheets, not yet attached to wooden support frames. These un-stretched canvas paintings are sent to customers rolled up in cardboard tubes.

I like to experiment with different combinations of colours in the leaf section of the trees. With these very large paintings shown here, one has predominantly orange and yellow leaves, another has mainly blue leaves and the third tree painting features a lot of light brown / oatmeal.

As you can see, there are still lots of other colours in all three of these trees as well.

These tree paintings are 160 x 112 cm (63 x 44 inches) and £150 each, including UK courier delivery.

Metallic Gold and Yellow Tree Painting

A new abstract tree painting by me, Rich Gane.

As with most of my tree paintings this canvas features a wide range of different colours, however, there’s a particular focus on metallic gold paint and light yellow. The metallic gold is two different sorts of gold, which helps to give the painting variety but also balance. Unlike the other paints used on this canvas, the gold paint has a metallic finish to it.

My tree art is some of my most popular art with customers. There is an almost infinite number of ways that colours can be used in the leaf section of the trees. No two of these ‘drip and splash’ trees are ever the same.

At the base of the tree I normally like to paint some grass with wild flowers and fallen leaves. As with the rest of the canvas, the grass and flowers are painted in a loose, expressive style.

This is original abstract art that focuses on being colourful, vibrant and happy.

This painting measures 81 x 60 cm and is £80, including UK courier delivery.
