©Opal Fields (2021) By CLT_Abstracts, 1/1
Mixed media on reclaimed canvas, 46cm x 36cm/18” x 14”
For this, I really enjoyed blending and layering colours and creating sections. This reminded me of both the iridescent colours of opals and the changing appearance of fields through the summer. I decided the ombré blending didn’t need any distracting elements added to it so I just added texture to the gold areas. For this, I used lino clippings embedded into texture paste as I don’t like to waste things and I feel the Lino gives a quirky appearance. The gold leaf adds depth and light to the textured surface again adding to that gem like or sunshine quality.
