Rocky Point No. 5

Description

Rocky Point no. 5 – Original Artwork by Lauren Danger.  Created in December 2022. It is the 5th of the “Rocky Point” series.

Rocky Point No. 5 and the rest of the series is inspired by the point separating Torquay and Jan Juc, Wadawurrung Country, Surf Coast Australia.

This series has a lot of similarities to the nearby Bells Beach series.  Turquoise water and a mix of earthy tones with bright bold pinks and purples.  The vegetation also has a lot more details like in the Bells series, creating loads of interest.  For me the technique with the leaves is another way I can freely and intuitively express colour and tone.

This perspective of Rocky Point is captured beautifully by Linda Gorfol, a local Torquay photographer.  You can see the original inspiration image in the photo gallery.  As always I love to use the image as a base point.  Always at some point during the creation of the vegetation I allow intuition to take over and I step away from the image.  My artworks are, to me, the beautiful balance between realism and abstract.  Taking an image known to the viewer and allowing my more playful side to express itself.

Teddy’s Lookout no. 5 has a mix of teal, turquoise, aqua, lilac, sand, magenta, coral pink, dusty pink, pale orange, deep purple, yellow/green, green/gold, burnt umber and olive green.  Rocky Point no. 5  is one of the more vibrant artworks from the series.  With lots of rocks in the artwork that definitely give it more warmer colours like pinks and yellows. I like to have artworks evolve in their own way, each artwork in the series will have it’s own unique touch.

This artwork has been created on a custom made stretched canvas ready to hang and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.  This artwork has been framed in a float frame made of raw oak.  You can find out all about the details of my originals here.
