Pieces
“Horsehead Nebula”
Acrylic and UV Pigment on Canvas, 700×700. This is a “night mode” painting – it only really works under UV light.
“Paisley Rosecone”
Acrylic on Canvas, 300×900. The third rose for my UV wall, to join “Mackintosh Rose” and “Powder Rose” – completing the set. The top two panels mirror “Twin Roses #2”, and were painted at the same time – technically making these triplets. The differences being the size of the panels (the top two panels would …
“Twin Roses #2”
Acrylic and UV on Canvas, 250×450. My second set of “Twins”, painted at the same time with the same pigments and techniques. This makes use of specialist metallic paints for the leaves (thanks, L), and the internal frame of the rose. I’ve also used some iridescents for the framework. Technically, this is a triplet – …
“Rosicorn”
Acrylic and UV Pigment on Canvas. 500×500. Trialling some iridescent paints which change depending on the angle you view them from. From the correct angle, you get shimmering colours. From the wrong angle, all you see are dark panes on the rose.
“Made in Scotland”
Acrylic on Canvas, 1000×700. The Forth Rail Bridge, Tunnocks Caramel Wafer, and a bottle of Irn Bru 1901 (the “modern” version couldn’t support diabetes, let alone a railway bridge!). It can get much more Scottish, but this will suffice for now 😀.
“Twin Roses #1”
Acrylic and UV (and obviously some spray paint too) on canvas, each piece measures 250×500. Both roses were created at the same time, from the same canvas batch, with the same paints, and the same pigments. There are subtle differences, more fraternal than identical. Both carry the same meaning, though.
