oil on a wooden panel 40x30x5cm.
Red and Pearly White
A quiet canvas of beige and off-white gives way to a loose flare of rust, orange, and yellow—like warmth rising through stillness. Fine black lines scribble across the surface, gestural and fleeting, adding movement to the calm. The composition leans into contrast: restraint and release, softness and grit. It’s a moment of quiet intensity, where colour glows against silence and texture becomes memory.
Wordsworth talks of red and pearly white in The Thorn
Green, red, and pearly white!
This heap of earth o’ergrown with moss,
Which close beside the Thorn you see,
So fresh in all its beauteous dyes,
I use oil pastels, oil sticks, markers, scrapers, charcoal, pigment sticks, newspaper, and graphite to make marks, whichever fits the moment.
