Sun-Love, Sun Series, May 2024, Acrylic on canvas, 50x70cm
Sun-Love is the sister painting to Sun-Joy. The two paintings are designed to be viewed in the same space. The main colours are bronze, gold and white. The composition was designed to complement Sun-Joy and is also reminiscent of the sun with a sense of joy.
Sun-Love 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.
Viewing the paining close up allows us to see under layers of many colours, including pink and purple. Sun-Love consists of two main areas compared to three in Sun-Joy. The upper section of Sun-Love has white highlights and the lower half is dominated by black low lights.
The uniform nature of Sun-Love only becomes apparent when viewed from afar.
