Acrylic on hand shaped plywood [84 x 54cm]
This painting was made with one continuous stroke, a single brush loaded with the six colour spectrum R O Y G I V was dragged along the surface allowing the colours to mix in its trail.
I am experimenting more and more with these colour limitations, partially as a way of exercising my understanding of colour as a steady series of transitioning hues but also as a way of thinking about light and its interactions with the rods and cones of the eye.
It is simply a coincidence that the cross section of a cone is an ellipse.
