Who needs a flight plan when you've got wings and a little imagination?
Meet Winging It — a rather colourful little creature who seems to have appeared on my canvas with absolutely no idea where he's heading, but is having a wonderful time getting there!
That's what I love about painting intuitively. I start with a blank canvas, my palette knife and a few colours, and simply see what happens. No sketches, no plans, just one colourful mark leading to another.
And somewhere amongst all those shapes, this rather extraordinary flying insect appeared!
With splashes of turquoise, soft pink, deep blue, rich burgundy and warm ochre, he looks as though he's spreading his wings and heading off on his next adventure.
Of course, you might see something completely different. That's the fun of abstract art. There are no rules, and you certainly don't have to see what I see.
Painted in thick, expressive palette knife oils, the raised marks create wonderful texture and little shadows, while the crisp white background lets each colour and shape have its moment.
A joyful, one-of-a-kind original that brings colour, movement and a little bit of mischief into your home. Perfect for a hallway, study or living room where a splash of personality is always welcome.
One painting. One owner. No flight plan required.
