Volatility and excitement strike me in this painting, where I pulled rivers of colour with spatulas and palette knives, threw cups of paint and watched them fly with my air gun. One of my absolute favourites in this series. Acrylic on canvas.

For Originals & Giclée Prints select from product sizes above (paper prints have an additional 2" white border on all four sides, eg. 24" x 24" print comes on 28" x 28" paper). For information about Prints & Commissions see below.

Gallery Wrapped Canvas Print & Paper Print descriptions

Consider a high-quality made-to-order Giclée print of the original that is printed with archival pigment inks on Heavy Canvas or Fine Art Textured Paper. Multiple sizes are available for each painting — please choose a size above to see the price.

Fine Art Textured Paper is a heavy weight, cold-pressed paper that has a natural white finish with a coarse, structured surface equivalent to traditional watercolor paper. Prints on this paper feature fine detail, vivid colours and deep blacks.

Paper Giclée prints have an extra 2” border of white paper beyond the image on all sides (eg. 24" x 24" print is on 28" x 28" paper).

Gallery-wrapped Canvas Prints have solid-colours (black or white) printed on the sides.
