Artwork Description
There's something rather intriguing about this little painting. Laurel Holmes has used thick strokes of slate blue against a warm, earthy background, and although the marks appear quite abstract, they bring to mind the movement of water after dark.
I particularly like the contrast between the heavily worked blue paint and the quieter areas of brown and ochre. Some of the marks seem to float across the surface, while others trail downwards, as though the paint itself is following the movement of the river.
At just 20 × 20 cm, "Midnight On The River III" is a small painting with a surprising amount of texture. The natural kiaat frame complements its earthy colours, and I think it's a lovely example of how much Laurel can express with a few confident gestures of her brush.
