Earthy Organic II Canvas

Printed on canvas, the broad ochre form gains weight. It fills most of the surface with a narrow brown channel cutting up through the middle and a scalloped foot along the bottom, and the dry brush marks run vertically through the colour as they do in the original. The weave gives the flat ochre a tooth that paper cannot, so the shape reads as painted rather than printed. Stretched over a wooden frame, it comes ready to hang with no glass in front of it. A float frame adds a shadow gap around the edge.

The large ochre mass makes this the warmest of the three and the one that holds a wall on its own. It works above a sideboard or a bed in a room with wood, wool and warm white walls. An oak or walnut float frame stays in the palette; left plain the canvas reads as one solid field. Hung between its two companions it sits naturally in the middle.
