Polytones No. 6 Painting

Oil and Wax on Wooden Panel. I have always seen beauty in decay, whether it is old worn out graffiti on a city wall, or wind worn gravestones in a country cemetery. Rusty old seaside boats or derelict interiors of time forgotten ruins. It all depends on your angle of view. This painting is my debut, working with Oil on Wooden Panel, having always painted with acrylic in the past. A little wax helps with texture and finish, and I found the colour and energy just flows with these new materials. I worked on this painting by blocking out any outside distractions, allowing full attention to be focused on my emotional state at the time. Emotions do change from day today and over a period of a few weeks this painting emerged through the many layers of manipulation that was involved. This painting has a depth and richness that evokes different feelings in each individual observer.
