Phenomena French West Indies — Fine Art

Phenomena French West Indies by Paul Jenkins shows a wet wash of blue and green that runs down the paper. The paint pools in places and thins out elsewhere. Brush strokes move in long sweeps, leaving marks where the bristles pressed hard. The title points to a place and a mood at the same time.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The paper is matte, so the blue and green stay soft and there is no shine under a lamp. The frame finish can follow the room.

It works on a wall in a study where the desk faces north. From the chair you see the sweep of the wash across the sheet. Step closer and the small puddles of paint show up. The room stays calm and the paint keeps moving.
