Open Hearth is a heavily textured acrylic painting in burnt orange, rust and dark bronze. Tiny flecks of red, lilac and green are scattered across it, and a faint spiral shows in the paint near the bottom.

It looks like old iron, or the inside of a furnace that has cooled. Sally used metallic and iridescent paints in the layers, so the bronze glows and the pale patch shimmers as the light changes. It’s a warm, heavy painting, and it gives a room real weight.

The colours got warmer and warmer the longer I worked on it, until it felt like standing in front of a fire. Then the metallics went on, and in the right light the whole thing glows. That little spiral near the bottom turned up on its own, and I liked it too much to paint over. ~ Sally

Open Hearth was painted for the new Brentwood showroom of German kitchen specialist Kutchenhaus. Sally met the showroom’s lead designer, Sam Smith, in the finished space to talk through colours and style, and she crafted this painting to suit it. It hangs there now, so the original isn’t for sale, but you can see it in person in Brentwood, Essex. Prints are available in 4 sizes.

Sizes & Information

Sally paints with high-pigment acrylics, sometimes adding metallic paint, pastel, gouache, graphite and other media, on gallery-wrapped canvas, linen or jute. The canvas edges are usually painted to suit the work.

Each original is framed in a sustainably sourced wood floating frame, in black or champagne, and fitted with D-rings and a hanging wire, ready to hang.

Buying the original doesn’t affect the availability of prints of the same artwork. Sally keeps the copyright and reproduction rights.
