Description
Blue Spring – orange sparks in a cold field
Painting on canvas sparks orange and rust across a cold blue-grey field that takes most of an upright canvas — wall art balanced so exactly between a cold ground and a warm accent that neither wins.
Technique and texture
The ground is built from many thin layers that dried into a grainy, faintly cracked surface. The orange sparks are set with a narrow blade and stand above it as small lumps. Flicked white travels the full width and, where it lands thickest, slides a little way down.
The motif
A bright core sits in the upper third and the colour cools from there toward the foot. The sparks gather in a pair of groups set at an angle to each other. Because no shape is given an outline the scene stays open and reads as light in water. A narrow mallow band runs down the left edge from top to bottom, and the lower half darkens into deep green and violet.
Setting and placement
A cold base carrying warm sparks stays calm even in a room that already has strong colour in it, which is the useful part. Tall and narrow, it fits where the wall is left over rather than chosen.

Blue Spring: choosing a size and ordering
Blue Spring is painted in 16 upright sizes, from 40 x 63 to 200 x 319 cm. A narrow strip of wall between windows is filled by 50 x 79 or 60 x 95 cm, 70 x 111 cm fits beside a wardrobe or a door, 80 x 127 cm over a console about 120 cm wide, and a tall stairwell wall has room for 100 x 159 or 120 x 191 cm. That keeps the orange sparks on the blue-grey field in proportion to the furniture.
Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and Blue Spring arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. Any frame for Blue Spring is your own pick in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. The delivery time for Blue Spring is 15–45 days. Its orange sparks are hand-painted with a narrow blade and stand up as small lumps, so this painting is not a print.
