Large Abstract Paintings
This is the first time I’ve painted one of my vertical drip paintings on a black background. A black background can often help to really emphasise the bright colours that I then apply on top of it. Each of these paintings has a unique combination of colours that makes it a one-of-a-kind original artwork.
I finished this new original abstract flower painting yesterday. There are a variety of different coloured flowers but the dominant colour is red. The flowers curve up to the top at both ends of the canvas whilst you can see more of the blue sky in the central portion of the painting. This un-stretched canvas measures 160cm x 112cm. It’s a very colourful and uplifting painting that I hope will bring joy and sunshine to someone’s room.
I’m continuing to experiment with dot and spot paintings. I particularly like the combination of white dots on a black background. The black paint was brushed on quite thickly to give some texture to the surface. Many white dots and spots of paint were then added with a small brush to create the sheep. I would like to try some more black and white dot paintings in this style soon, including perhaps some very large facial portraits.
This is my second leaf and berry painting. The first one was painted on a black background and this time I decided to try painting a similar picture on a yellow background instead. It consists of many small dots and spots of white paint that have been carefully applied on top of the yellow background. If you’re looking for a bright and colourful yellow and white original canvas with a nature theme this could be the one for you!
This is the second tree canvas I finished last week. As we’re now in September it seemed appropriate to paint a new orange and yellow tree that hints at some of the glorious Autumn colours we’ll soon be seeing. Orange is certainly one of my favourite colours!
Here’s a new tree painting I finished last week. It features lots of green and red in the leaf area, as well as many other colours. Sometimes customers ask me to paint a similar tree for them but with a custom colour scheme. I’m more than happy to do this and I then do my best to follow the colour scheme.
Yesterday a recent customer of mine sent me this lovely photo of a yellow starburst painting I did. He made a wooden stretcher frame himself and stretched the canvas on to it. The result is fantastic! Customer photos are always a great way of seeing how my art looks in different real-life settings. I’ve written more about different approaches to stretching and framing my canvases on my website here.
I’ve just finished this painting and it is now on its way to the customer with the courier Parcelforce. I was asked to paint this vertical drip style flower painting to the specific size of 5 feet wide by 3 feet high. When I paint a particular painting on a larger or smaller canvas than normal it will always change the overall appearance of the picture a little bit, with the size of flower heads, for example. Furthermore, each of my paintings like this is a unique work of art anyway, with each one looking slightly different, even when painted on the same size canvas. I was very happy with how this custom painting turned out!
A new minimalist black & white spot and dot painting on a very large canvas. Numerous small white spots of paint have been added to the painted black background. I brushed on two layers of black paint to create visible brush strokes and thus texture to the surface of the canvas. This painting depicts an adult sheep standing in a field. I can paint a similar picture for you with a different coloured background instead of black, if you prefer.
A new black & white dot and spot painting I finished last week. With Minimalist and Pointillist influences, I have painted numerous dots and spots of white paint on to a black background. The picture shows a group of wild berries and leaves taken from my garden. I’m interested in focusing on a small item and enlarging it on to a very large canvas, painting it in a semi-abstract way. This original abstract canvas measures 160 cm x 112 cm.
