Description
Jewelry II – warm red in the upper corner
Wall art tips an orange-red flower into the upper right corner and cuts it at two edges, so the bloom occupies the top two thirds and reaches into the lower third with a single leaf: painting on canvas built on that one deliberate imbalance. The petals are broad and smooth, yellow at the tips and dark brown where they meet the centre.
Technique and texture
Each petal is painted in one direction, so the light travels along it the way it travels along cloth. The move from orange into yellow is made wet into wet with no visible border. The backing is white and brown, knife-laid in vertical blocks and chipped in places back to the canvas, which gives it the look of a battered wall.
The motif
The dark rim around the centre acts as a shadow and lifts the bloom off the ground. The centre itself is gold-brown, round and coarsely granular. The lower part of the canvas is the most worked passage and yet carries no motif, so the flower has no competitor.
Setting and placement
That orange is dominant enough to set the colour temperature of a whole wall, so give it a neutral ground — grey, white or timber.
- Technique: hand-painted painting on canvas, wet into wet, chipped ground, granular centre

Jewelry II in 14 upright sizes
This upright canvas, with its orange-red bloom tipped into the upper corner, is painted in 14 sizes from 40 x 60 to 180 x 275 cm. A narrow wall between windows needs only 50 x 75 or 60 x 90 cm, 80 x 120 cm suits a console table about 120 cm wide, 70 x 105 cm fits a spot beside a wardrobe or chest, and a tall stairwell wall has room for 100 x 150 or 120 x 180 cm.
Pick YES in the Stretcher menu and Jewelry II arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to go straight on the wall. The frame stays your choice, since the Frame menu for Jewelry II opens at Without frame. Jewelry II is delivered in 15–45 days. The bloom with its yellow-tipped petals is hand-painted wet into wet over a chipped ground, so this painting is not a print.
Jewelry II: buyer questions
Which size of Jewelry II fits above a console table?
For a table around 120 cm wide take 80 x 120 cm, for a narrower one 60 x 90 cm, so the orange bloom stays above it.
Does Jewelry II arrive ready to hang?
Yes, with YES chosen in the Stretcher menu the canvas with the orange bloom comes on a wooden stretcher.
Is Jewelry II printed or painted?
Painted, the yellow-tipped petals and the granular centre are done by hand, and the ground is laid with a knife.
Can you paint Jewelry II in another size?
Yes, the corner bloom can also be painted as a made-to-order painting if none of the 14 sizes suits your wall.
