Labyrinth. Winsor & Newton alkyds on hardboard, 760 x 610 mm. The raised labyrinth was made by dipping 6 mm nylon rope in acrylic impasto medium and shaping it on the primed board.

Oh, that is very inventive. The metallic colour of the labyrinth gives it a historical or other culture flavour, I think. Love it. Inspired.
 
Thank you, Iain. As a starting point I was thinking of the colours of the walls in the palace of Knossos, as well as the blues of the sea and the sky.
 
Thank you for the comments, guys. I've always been very interested in textures and I'm thinking of doing a few paintings that incorporate scraps of real metal surrounded by impasto textures. I painted this labyrinth one for myself, for as change — it's already hanging in its designated place.
 
I like the metallic look of the labyrinth surrounded by the weathered look of the paint skips around it. Looks great! :giggle:
