Sun-Joy, Sun Series, 2024, Acrylic on canvas, 50x70cm
The composition is reminiscent of the sun and holds a sense of joy. Sun-joy was created on the few sunny days in East Anglia in late spring 2024. It was created to be hung in a bright garden office to complement the shiny walnut floor.
Wendy was thinking about enjoying the sunshine while painting and how happy she was to be painting for her loved husband who requested the work. Some of the painting was done in the garden ‘en plain air’.
A close up view of the centre shows the variety of colours in this small area. Many shades of pink are visible here. These pink shades are hard to distinguish when viewing the painting as a whole.
The main colours are gold, silver and copper with each colour dominant in different areas of the canvas. The colours radiate in a spiral from the centre imitating the structure of the sun.
