Come Fly With Me Painting

‘Come Fly with Me’ is painted using a mixture of high quality artists acrylic and oil on canvas. In this instance the acrylic is used to lay down a base coat, in particular the luminous orange pink in the foreground. The combination of the two types of paint creates a lightly textured surface where the colours really sing. The painting is created on a fine quality stretched canvas 150cm by 120cm which has batons to strengthen it on the reverse. The wood has been kiln dried to prevent the canvas from warping. The painting is shipped in a wooden crate which provides excellent protection for shipping. The painting comes unframed and ready to hang immediately. The canvas is 4cm deep so you can see the deep edge protrude from the wall, or if you preferred you could opt to frame the work. All of my painting s start their lives as digital collages. I collect together my source material from found imagery, my own sources and combine them together to create a composition I feel is balanced, interesting, sometimes humorous and quirky. This painting uses Shoreham airport which is an Art Deco Airport in Sussex, England as it’s location. I love the vintage architecture and because it is a location I know well as it’s near my home. The characters in the painting are organised throughout the composition sipping martinis and watching the planes taking off. The colours in the painting sizzle. The orange pink works through the painting and contrasts with the greys and blues in the sky and on the building to focus the viewers’ attention thought the bi-plane.
