‘King of the River’, from the original oil painting on an abstract ink and acrylic background.The inspiration for this piece is founded on the elements fire and water, taken from the extraordinary iridescent colours of the kingfisher. The left hand bottom corner is based on organic matter, grass and reeds. I also wanted to convey a wave and flames licking up. This was built up oil paint with a palette knife. The expressive abstract based contrasts with the semi realism of the subject.
