Shimmering from a grey silver to ruddy brown, the gathered shapes in this image feel like ears of corn in a misty field. There is a dreamlike and distant quality to this hand-painted piece, which has a clear foreground and faded background, drawing the viewer in to explore further. There is something dour and heartfelt about the choice of colours, certainly making this image suitable for introspection and contemplation.!-- split --Hand Painted, Heavily Textured Bold Metallics by Martin Edwards
