The piece of work above is by the artist Rebecca Patridge named “Love more.” The artist has used colour and consequently light in a very interesting way, using the translucent qualities of the colour has given the piece of work an aura of light working from the outside to the inside allowing the colour to slowly solidify as you travel towards the centre of the piece. The use of translucent colours on the outside gives the edges of the painting a soft approach where the colours start to harden in the centre.

The range of colours used in the piece offer the piece a strange psychedelic appearance, while the colours used do not contract with each other, the opaqueness of the colours are what offer the contrast to the piece itself. The use of this effect draws you straight into the centre of the artwork as you follow the shapes painted from the points to the top of the cones of colour, allowing you to work your eyes from the centre to the outside of the piece. The artist has purposely used the colour and lighting of the piece to do this so your eyes cover the whole piece, and while attracted to the centre, you follow it from inside to out, and not just concentrating on smaller parts of the piece.
