If there’s any kind of focal point to be had then it has to go in the middle. Put them at the edges and it it all goes a bit heavy. And since I changed my paints to reduce the glossiness there’s an even bigger reason to rejoice in the brooding primordial potential of this tonal combination.Ĭentral to the success of Smoke On The Water is the way the shapes move and the way in which I have centralized the main elements of light and dark. I can’t really explain why but I just love them. Seriously? Do you even need to ask? If I could just paint in these colours all day I would be the happiest man alive. There’s a quiet rumbling of authority from it but it has boundaries and will never overstep its position.Īdd the drama, forget the colour and keep your effortless neutral colour scheme alive! What I think about this painting It’s contained though so don’t think it will slap you in the face when you sit down for a coffee, far from it. Life shouldn’t always be about playing safe or colour matching to your soft furnishings.Īfter all, life has an expiry date (thank you Shay Rowlett) so if you really want to remind yourself to make the most of every day and celebrate all that you are then Smoke On The Water is perfect for you. I think it’s important to liven up a space and give it some presence. Perhaps there’s a lot of white wall space to be filled? I figure that it’s best to add a little drama and intrigue whilst you’re at it. But consider the potential of a space with this hanging in it.
I guess you could definitely see it as a bit mad. It’s properties are insane although it’s the same type of enamel paint I normally use it’s the tonal range it produces that has astounded me – especially when I start adding chemicals to it. To be honest I have no idea what this grey actually is but it’s a sort of mix between rusty steel, black, slate grey and mud! I really can’t find a more suitable way to define it than that.
I don’t find it particularly easy to paint in such a limited range of tones but the inclusion of a strange murky grey has produced something rather beautiful. A week or so after it had finished drying the name came to me in a flash now every time I look at it I keep humming the chorus! Why I painted itĮver since I painted Between A Rock and a Hard Place I have yearned to get busy with these earthy elemental colours again. Smoke On The Water is named after the iconic Deep Purple track.
So what comes first, the painting or the name?
