Crafted on Arches Oil Paper, this painting was created from the artist's interest in color theory and investigating new color combinations and relationships. This work explores an integrated palette with Alizarin Crimson, a cool red that leans towards purple. Warmer reds, oranges, and peaches are contrasted against dark violet to make the painting pop. Alizarin Crimson is a uniquely colored pigment that was originally derived from the Madder plant, native to Asia and Southern Europe. This original oil painting is 9.75” x 7.5” with a 0.75” white border surrounding, and it arrives neatly wrapped in a plastic sleeve ready to be framed.
