Bakers Dozen original

An abundant still life of roses in a vase, Bakers Dozen is an original painting on a 50 × 60 cm thick box canvas.

Contemporary abstract colour gives the work its warmth and energy: the red of the roses is exaggerated by the contrasting earthy blue background, so the blooms seem to lift from the surface. Thick, textured paint is layered generously, with organic drips overlapping and settling into one another.

It is a piece that rewards a quiet moment. Stand close and the surface becomes a landscape of its own, all ridges and trails of paint; step back and the roses gather themselves again, glowing red against the blue.
