    Nursery

    [Constellation 4]

    4' by 5'

    oil on canvas

    Nursery is the fourth work in the Constellation series. Created on a ground of dark grey gesso, the painting involved more than seven overlapping layers of translucent, highly diluted paint. Paint and mineral spirits were poured onto the horizontal canvas, and then mixed and manipulated by moving the canvas itself, rather than with a brush.

    The painting used only red and blue pigments.

    Nursery was featured in the March 2015 Waterfalls exhibition.
