Bon Fire
This was inspired by a day last spring, when I took some study photographs of my friend Michelle tending her allotment bonfire, just below Whitby Abbey. My painting anchors her as the central figure, commanding the elements, with a burst of texture and colour. I have purposely kept it loose and impressionistic and been sparing with the detail to preserve a dream-like quality of the occasion.
Medium: Acrylic and emulsion paint on reclaimed canvas
Size: 60 cm x 40 cm
