Summer

Summer

A vibrant abstract acrylic painting, beautifully encapsulating the warmth and vibrancy of its namesake season through a palette of warm browns and taupe, enriched with the luxurious touches of gold and silver leaf, this artwork is a celebration of the season’s essence, translated into a contemporary visual language.

The canvas is a harmonious blend of warm browns and taupe, colors that evoke the feeling of sunbathed landscapes and late summer afternoons on the sand. These earthy tones are applied with an abstract approach, allowing the hues to flow and merge organically, creating a sense of movement and depth.   Accentuating this warm base are carefully placed embellishments of gold and silver leaf. The gold leaf, with its radiant and lustrous quality, brings to mind the golden glow of the summer sun, its beams reflecting off natural surfaces. The addition of silver leaf, in contrast, offers a cooler counterpoint, reminiscent of the gleaming light on a calm body of water during a tranquil summer evening.

“Summer” is a piece that resonates with those who appreciate the beauty of abstract art and the emotive power of colors. It’s an ideal addition to any modern space that seeks to capture the warmth and richness of the summer season in an elegant and stylish manner. This painting invites viewers to immerse themselves in its depths, to feel the warmth of the sun and the play of light that makes summer a time of joy and splendor.

A striking feature of “Simmer Down” is the gold leaf that pushes through from the side. This element adds a sense of luxury and intensity, representing the mounting pressure or heat within the simmering concoction of colors. The gold leaf catches the light, drawing the eye and adding a dynamic quality to the artwork. The piece is further animated by bubbling white and contrasting black strokes. These strokes add movement and texture, enhancing the feeling of bubbling and simmering. The contrast between the white and black strokes creates a visual tension, mirroring the push and pull of internal emotions and thoughts as they rise to the surface.
