A study in oil paint of a Philodendron Pink Princess houseplant emerging from a deep blue-black background. The stunning contrast of the hot pink against the spectrum of greens are created through rich glazes of magenta and sap green paint, using minimal tones to build texture and movement. The graphic style of the painting exaggerates the rubbery, almost artificial look of the plant, with moving patterns picked out and repeated throughout. Inspired by a giant houseplant-filled window I have walked past regularly in my neighbourhood, a reminder of how simple it is to see the most beautiful plantlife even in the city. The canvas measures 30x40cm, and is framed in black wood to seamlessly fit in.
