Lady Day II — Fine Art

thin bands of colour run across the surface of Lady Day II, with edges that do not line up evenly. the paint looks like it was laid down in washes, and the marks vary in how far they spread.

the fine art print keeps the colour field painting practice visible on a matte sheet, so the washes stay flat and the pale tones do not shine. a light frame on a dark wall lets the bands stand out, and a dark frame on a pale wall does the same in the other direction.

it hangs on the study wall above the desk, where you see the broad colour bands from the doorway and the uneven edge marks when you lean in. the light from the desk lamp sits on the surface without a reflection.
