Samarkand

Samarkand

This abstract collage was made with papers decorated with monotype. It would be impossible to reproduce any of the patterned papers exactly. The lightweight papers take the colour in unpredictable ways. The scraps have been stuck to heavy watercolour paper with acid-free adhesive. The title reminds me of a book my father owned called The Golden Road to Samarkand by James Elroy Flecker – the name always fascinated me as a child. Image size approximately 10×9 inches.

This is one of the paintings in my print on demand shop.

Love looking at art. Love messing with colour.

One thought on “Samarkand”

  1. Beautiful colours, shapes and depth 🙂 I keep seeing new things in it, like the little bird, the swaying trees, the blue distance… MR
