Lovers in a Golden Spiral

About the work

Symbolist romance with Art Nouveau line and a touch of surrealism.

Medium

Oil or acrylic on canvas.

Palette

A warm analogous run of amber, ochre, sienna and umber, with white daisies as the only cool notes.

Composition

Square. A strong spiral sweep circles a dark central void, drawing the eye round and inward.

Technique

Soft blended modelling on the skin against long flowing directional strokes describing the hair.

Tender, intimate and enveloping.
