An exuberant burst of colour and intriguing organic shapes, ‘California Superbloom’ is a painting that needs to be experienced. I began this painting as part of a live demonstration at a local art event. The evening was sunny and hot and I was surrounded by summer solstice excitement and energy. The limited palette provided an additional challenge; one which was a resounding success. Note how the orange shimmers and sits just in front of the deep purple shapes. It’s a magical, cosmic, 3-D piece that suits both a dark and mysterious decor and a sunny, naturally lit one.
