Commissioned Paintings
‘Vessels 2’ , (2024)
‘Vessels 2’ is a painting done on a medium sized canvas. The colour palette consists of white, red, pink, brown and purple. Luke applied a generous amount of water with his paint in order to gain a dripping washed effect within his brush strokes. It was commissioned by Emily Griffiths, the Marketing & Communications Manager at Interaction Disability Services. Emily requested a commission from Luke after she had bought ‘Vessels 1’ , she wanted something similar to ‘Vessels 1’ but much larger.
