NH454‘Steps with Carpets’18 x 18 inches 45.5 x 45.5 cm (25.5 inches / 65 cm diagonal) Acrylic on Canvas 2012
The shadows on the steps create a zig-zag pattern which helps in leading theeye up towards the top section of the painting where a more complex arrangement of chimney, plants and rugs focuses attention. The stripes on the rugs have a similar effect and the line of the wall carries on behind the chimney to arrest the movement.
