Purple Rain Print

Purple Rain is a large abstract expressionist painting with multiple layers of textured paint in vivid colors of Yellow, mauve, red and green. Thousands of Impasto marks of paint are used on this contemporary painting so that the painting appears dynamic as light reflects off a multitude of different surfaces; the intention is to give a feeling of energy and movement. The photos do not fully show the vibrant effect of the thick creamy paint. My mantra for these paintings is: “let there be light and color.” Inspiration for abstraction and color is drawn from favourite abstract artists such as Hans Hofmann, Willem De Kooning, and Lynne Drexler; and for love of paint-form from Milton Resnick. The painting is on a plywood panel which is backed with a timber support frame made with professional quality joinery. Only professional artist acrylic paints are used. The board is first sealed front and back and the painting is finished with layers of protective polymer varnish. Heavy duty "D" rings and cord are attached so that the painting is ready to hang. A signed certificate of authenticity is included.
