two more paintings, unwrapped
two very small abstract paintings on canvas, created especially for the harleston gallery's christmas art exhibition (see more small paintings created for this art show in the previous post)...
this is a very small painting measuring about 12cm square, in oxide orange-red, black, brown, grey and white textural striations. the subtly layered, mostly neutral hues (aside from the wide band of red) suggest muted elements of winter with a seasonal accent of red. at first, i wanted to call this canvas 'brickish' as i liked the sound of the word (but i am not sure it even exists), but i have decided to name it 'redland', because i was also thinking of greenland (where some believe santa claus lives)

...more rustic minimalism, with a more neutral palette of colours... textured, weathered stripes in dark brown-black, putty, grey blue, white and light grey. this small, square canvas also measures about 12cm square and its title is 'barnwood'....
