The Group - an abstract still life painting

I’ve used a muted palette with a pop of burnt orange and fresh mint. It’s an unusual palette for me and I really like the calm and gentleness of this painting. The frame is now pale grey as seen in the main photo. 

Please note that this painting is now only available from the CCA gallery at 6 Trinity Street, Cambridge, CB2 1SU until 22 Oct. Please 'phone them on 01223 324222 if you would like to purchase this painting.

This is a stylish abstract still life painting in acrylic on a wooden cradled panel. There's almost a feeling of the family about this painting. The two larger vessels watch over the interaction of three smaller objects in the foreground. The two smaller vessels are interested in the bright orange arrival.

There is a lovely sense of space in this painting. The orange vessel in the foreground sings against the soft colours and adds impact to this small artwork.

The painting in its frame measures 23.2 cm x 28.2cm. This frame is a natural wood tray frame that has been painted with a barely perceptible transparent wax varnish. The painting has also had a final layer of cold wax rubbed into it over satin varnish to add a protective sheen. The bottom right-hand corner of the painting was slightly chipped before work began - see the third picture. This adds to the originality and exclusivity of this one-off piece!

This is ready to hang and signed on the back and front and comes with a certificate of authenticity as do all the paintings.
