Description
Thought II – two flowers made of metal
Wall art forges two flowers out of burnished copper-silver deposits and sets them on a ground that changes as it crosses — dark red and furrowed at the left, black in the middle, warm copper and relieved at the right: painting on canvas in which the blooms are worked like jewellery rather than observed from a plant. Their pointed leaves and stems reach the bottom edge.
Technique and texture
The petals are built from dense deposits and then burnished, which gives them their metallic, oxidised look. The left ground is combed into vertical furrows running the full height. The right band is the opposite: cracked and lumpy, with a thick irregular surface.
The motif
The two heads are offset — the upper larger and turned aside, the lower smaller and open square to the viewer. A closed bud on a short stem sits between them. Two thin drawn circles, one at the upper right and one low at the centre, are the only geometric elements and they balance the piece discreetly.
Setting and placement
This palette works in a contemporary room and in a traditional one, which is unusual. Choose a wall where the wall should be handsome rather than heard.

Thought II: square sizes, stretcher and frame
Thought II, with its two metal flowers, is painted in 14 square sizes from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Let the three-band square cover roughly two thirds of the furniture width below it: 130 x 130 or 140 x 140 cm over a 200 cm sofa, 120 x 120 cm above a bed 160–180 cm wide, 100 x 100 cm over a 150 cm sideboard, and 70 x 70 or 80 x 80 cm in a hallway.
Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the canvas with its copper-silver blooms arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional for Thought II, as its Frame menu starts at Without frame, so the dark red, black and copper ground can run edge to edge. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Thought II is hand-painted in dense, burnished layers on every petal, so it is not a print.
Questions about Thought II
Which size of Thought II fits above a bed?
Over a bed 160–180 cm wide two thirds is about 115 cm, so the metal flowers suit 120 x 120 cm there.
Is Thought II a print?
No, the burnished petals, the combed furrows at the left and the cracked right band are all applied by hand.
Can I order Thought II in a size that is not listed?
Yes, we also paint the two metal flowers on their three-part ground as a painting made to order in your measurements.
