Celestial Blue Painting

This is an abstract oil painting using cold wax medium. Cold wax medium is mixed with oil paint to give the paint specific properties. It is made with linseed oil and beeswax and allows me to build up a painting of many layers, which provide depth and visual interest to the work. "Celestial Blue" is painted on on cradled board, which is made up of a light coloured wood. The sides of the cradled board are UNpainted so you will see natural wood there if you choose not to frame the painting. Please see the photographs to see what the sides look like. The painting is already wired for hanging and is signed on the back. This painting is made up of many layers of paint. I started out with a bright and multi-coloured underpainting that included reds, oranges, yellows and lime greens. Then I completed the painting in blues, whites and greys, leaving spots where the underpainting shows through. Three of the photographs show details of the work where you can see the underpainting showing through. Although this painting is an abstract, my work often reflects aspects of the natural world. Some might interpret this painting as being clouds, or reflecting visions of a region of deep space. That inspired the title I gave it.
