Yellow, Green, and Orange - Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Canvas Vibrant composition by California artist Charles "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018). Layers of yellow, green, and orange blend and overlap to create depth and a variety of textures. Shades of blue and white add to the contrast in the composition. Signed and dated on verso: Dave Francis 2018 Acquired with a collection of the artist's work. No frame, but the edges are painted for a frame-less display Canvas size: 30"H x 24"W Charles David "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018) was an artist from Santa Cruz, California. He worked in acrylic and stained glass, specifically because the two methods are so dissimilar: "My paintings are very loose and expressive while my stained glass is structured and very much "within the lines". Painting is an exploration and discovery process. I put paint down in many layers until I produce an image I find exciting. In contrast, my stained glass requires a lot of planning and very exacting execution."
