#2 – Red Hill

Expanding and experimenting with my use of bold colours, I created this painting titled “Red Hill”. I wanted to use primary colours to build a bold and dynamic look. At this time, I was playing around with developing the black line-work I am known for today. I liked how the black lines created contrast and enhanced the colours further. Over the years, I found my experiments in paint were influenced by the works of Lawren Harris, Vincent VanGogh, and stained glass artwork. In time, I created a style of my own. This painting is one of my favourites, it displays a very simplistic landscape but with very intense and bright colours. The reds in this painting are especially striking and add a lot of energy to the scene.
