"splash" - Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Canvas
Bold abstract splatter composition by California artist Charles "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018).

Darker colors like blue and magenta make up the majority of the background, with brighter colors over the top creating a strong contrast.

No frame.
Canvas size: 36"H x 24"W
Charles David "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018) was an artist from Santa Cruz, California. He worked in acrylic and stained glass, specifically because the two methods are so dissimilar: "My paintings are very loose and expressive while my stained glass is structured and very much "within the lines". Painting is an exploration and discovery process. I put paint down in many layers until I produce an image I find exciting. In contrast, my stained glass requires a lot of planning and very exacting execution."
