(c) Burgundy dahlias u/f

A composition of burgundy dahlias rendered in acrylic, their layered petals captured with directional brushwork against a soft, neutral ground. The flowers occupy the canvas with considerable presence, their forms suggested through bold colour application and gestural marks rather than meticulous detail. The palette shifts between deep mauve and wine tones, with touches of green foliage punctuating the arrangement. Templeton’s characteristic Contemporary Impressionism is evident in the crisp colour work and decisive palette knife technique.
