Paul Gauguin

I decided to create a painted background for this set based on Gauguin's Tahitian paintings. The disparate nature of these pieces taken from several of his paintings seemed to suggest an idyllic Tahitian landscape where these pieces could be inserted into the canvas.

Watch this space.

                                        The pieces laid against a background to check for the layout

                                         A suitable frame and mat border, painted with Mars Brown

                                                  Background paiting being developed

                                                 Mat border placed over background

                                                  Background painting developed further

          Wooden panels taken from a book on Gauguin. These were used on the door frame of one of his houses. Here, they act as panels to frame this piece when completed.
