" Fiesta Time" abstract painting   © Stuart Kirby  www.itsromanticpaintings.co.uk

It's the 25th international jazz festival weekend on the Isle of Bute...


A couple of my abstract paintings will be available for viewing at the 18 East Gallery Rothesay on the Isle Of Bute from tomorrow the 3rd of May...

" Fiesta Time " (above) is a vibrant painting and my interpretation of happy celebratory times like a party,wedding reception or just plain feeling good...

Warm colours dominate expressing happiness...

The second one (below)entitled " Force Of Gold " is my interpretation of a global currency collapse because of quantitative easing and the precious metal becoming the worldwide trading currency...
