The Magic Purple Tree Only Appears At Sunset

8 July 2018

This one was created on the same day as the Stock LinkedIn Photo With Bike Replaced With Dog.  This time I definitely remember doing two paintings on the same day.  I’d deliberately tried to use quite plain colours on the previous one and was feeling quinacridone magenta withdrawal symptoms.  So I needed to go straight into another painting and go all out on the purple.  This is the imaginary landscape that I ended up with.

It definitely slaked my thirst for purple.  The colours here are great.  Some people have commented that the clouds in the sky and the hills at the back look like a scary face.  This wasn’t deliberate but it definitely adds something.  The more I look at it, the more I like it.

It’s framed and up for sale.
