This painting was exhibited in 1994 and 2002. It is typical of various themes and approaches in Robert Finlayson's work - the challenge of creating a bright and colourful work using a limited tonal range; subtle and attractive colour combinations; seemingly loose but highly orchestrated forms; the increasing use of line in the 1990s; the recurring presence of the moon; the occasional appearance of creatures from natural, historical or metaphorical worlds; the mysterious connections between things; the evocation of reflection; and the humour and playfulness.
