Orbit is a large painting 120x120 cms but with a minimalist enough palette to be displayed in a non-spacious area. It is one of those paintings that one needs to scrutinise close up and get lost in. It references both deep space and the idea of the power of the elements such as hurricanes and the recent film about Stephen Hawking The Theory of Everything was a powerful influence showing endurance in the face of great challenge. It is richly textured consisting of many different layers of paint with wool strands underneath. Some of the paint has been allowed to deliberately crack (secret recipe!) and been varnished over to secure the cracks. It is finished entirely and all over in oil paints followed by an application of gold leaf. The photograph does not do this highly textured effect justice, so I have included some close up details. In view of the subject matter it would be wonderful if an astronomer or scientist would like to see this in their home! The photos are a true representation of the work, but some of the details show the whites as rather bluish on the photograph. I have made a series of four smaller paintings that are very similar to this one, and will be posting those up shortly, so if you do not have the space for the BIG one, a 30x30 might suit.
