Barbara Conway painted from her home studio in Lisburn. She works in acrylics and has developed her own style. Her paintings begin with an intuitive abstract underpainting before sketching and adding layers and colour blocking. The background often guides the colour choices for the final piece. In this piece entitled 'New Day', you can lose yourself in layers of colour and texture, intuitive marks and organic shapes with calming harmonising tones. The canvas has been framed in a white wooden tray frame for a contemporary look.
