Dissolving Forest | Water soluble wax crayon on canvas board 127x179mm

There’s an immediate, tactile energy in this vibrant abstract painting, alive with colour and texture. Created using water-soluble wax crayons on gesso-primed canvas board, this small yet expressive work (5 x 7 inches) is part of a series that explores the playful possibilities of this often-overlooked medium. Layers of waxy pigment have been worked with water and pressure to build a richly textured surface that feels almost sculptural.

The colours shift and mingle—blues and yellows collide with earthy reds and pops of acid green—creating a visual rhythm that pulls your eye across the surface. You might see a forest dissolving in dappled sunlight, or reflections in a stream, or simply a joyful chaos of colour. This ambiguity invites a personal reading. It's a piece that doesn't dictate; it suggests, provokes, whispers.

Perfect for a space that thrives on bold individuality, this artwork adds depth, colour, and curiosity. Whether hung alone or as part of a gallery wall, it promises to spark conversation and introspection alike.
