Description
Planets – rings scattered over a silver ground
Wall art strews concentric circles of three sizes across a densely worked silver ground, each of them built from rings of green, red, blue and turquoise stacked from the outside in: abstract painting in which no circle ever overlaps another.
Technique and texture
Short crosswise strokes leave the silver ridged and sharp-edged, so it is never even anywhere across the canvas. The rings were painted flat and matt with no drawing inside them, which lifts them clear of all that activity. Every boundary between colours in a ring was drawn in one pass and left hard.
The motif
The circles are not arranged to a pattern: some squeeze together in pairs, others stand alone, and the whole reads as scattered rather than placed. The colour sequences never repeat — where one has a red core, its neighbour has turquoise. Because nothing overlaps, the silver stays visible between them everywhere.
Setting and placement
A silver ground goes with metal, glass and light wood. Side light moves across the ridges and changes the picture through the day — a hallway, a nursery, a living room.

Planets: landscape sizes for sofa, bed and hallway
Planets, the rings on a silver ground, is painted in 19 landscape sizes from 60 x 30 to 340 x 170 cm. The two-thirds rule for Planets works like this: 130 x 65 or 140 x 70 cm suits a 200 cm sofa, 110 x 55 or 120 x 60 cm a bed 160–180 cm wide, 120 x 60 cm a 180 cm dining table, and 160 x 80 or 180 x 90 cm a long hallway with the rings at eye level.
Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the silver canvas of planets arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional for Planets, whose Frame menu starts at Without frame, and the silver ground can stay unbordered. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Planets is hand-painted, the silver knifed on in crosswise strokes and the rings laid flat, so it is not a print.
