"Searching for the Pink Cloud" (by night) oil on canvas with internal lighting system, 153 x 183 cm, 2011

This painting was an experiment to see how the landscape would change from day to night. The floating mountainous landscape, influenced by the Far East has a mystical quality by day and takes on more of a romantic feel by night. The predominant colours are green and blue with the pink cloud providing an unexpected burst of energy. At night it glows brilliantly within the relatively moody palette of the canvas.
