Comes framed in a wooden tray frame. Oil painting on canvas board. An examination of unplanned colours and shapes to tell a narrative. Part of the 'palettes' series, a collection of artworks created by using these canvas boards as palettes to pre-mix colours for larger pieces. What was left were beautiful expressive and abstract marks on boards - the figure is unplanned and found amongst the marks pre-made.
