ABOUT THE PAINTING... Warm golden earth tones were the intention here. I used many techniques including washes of colour, removing colour, and various applications of thick and thin paint in layers. The heavier pigment particles of burnt umber and burnt sienna paint settled into "nooks and crannies" on the specially primed canvas and has the granular appearance of sand. Most of my abstract paintings allow for displaying the work as the owner prefers (as shown above with the samples)... and to change the hanging style at a later date for a fresh new look!
