‘DESERT FLOWER’ is painted using oil and acrylic on canvas. It is a large painting on an artist’s high quality Windsor and Newton stretcher which is warp resistant. The painting is made using large brushstrokes and the texture of the paint and brush marks are visible on the surface of the canvas.
 
It is painted using a combination of oil and acrylic paint which gives it extreme vibrancy and shine in some areas. In some areas of the painting the oil pigment is fluorescent which gives intense strong colour.
 
 
This work is inspired by dreams of holidays. Fantasy places centred around water that reference a particular type of paradise.

This piece reflects on my time spent in Palm Springs gathering research for paintings. Desert Oasis and a special place to depict my fantasy dream escapes.
