    Are the orange colours there on the canvas or are they created optically?

    Hi Andy,

    Mel informs us that: "In that work there is a subtle gradient from unbleached titanium to a little bit of burnt sienna on the panel. To see it in person there is some green striation that appears as an illusion."

    Thanks for the info, you can see something of the green even in the reproduction I think. This looks like wonderful work. A shame San Francisco is such a long way from Nottingham!

    If things go to plan perhaps we can get Mel to show here at some point.
