Tango

The 'Tango' paintings are inspired by the kind of designs you might see in silk scarves. The shapes are feathery and there's a flurry of movement across the surface of the paintings. I wanted the shapes to literally dance, and their colours really sing out against the white backgrounds. As in the 'Puzzle' paintings, I finished the pieces with dry-brushed oil paints to emphasize the surface texture, and enrich the colours.
