24" x 24" Acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas
Yellow has long been a secret love of mine. Yellow is bold, it’s happy, it’s the weirdo at the back of the classroom who entertains and breaks the rules. Its radiant smile won my heart over long ago and this zinger of a summer painting renewed my love. Think hot sun melting butter on ripe corn .... Delicious!
‘Lemon’ is a cheerful addition to the rainbow of colourful abstract paintings in my ‘Summer Detours’ collection. It evokes the feeling of meandering summer days and celebrates the delight found in days filled with bright sunshine.
For this series, I used larger canvases to give myself more freedom to play, blend, and combine colours, and to develop movement and interest in the backgrounds. I spent hours with each canvas, engrossed in the creative process, giving in to my unreserved love of colour in my typical whimsical manner.
