Love More, the oil painting by Rebecca Partridge, is a very interesting piece of art work with a soul focus on colour, lights and all blends of the two.
The image as a whole is very aesthetic to the human eye. I believe this is down to a number of reasons including the idea of simultaneous growth and graduation. The ‘Nature of Colour’ is made up of four key variations of colour; Hue, Tint, Tone and Shade. However this image uses only half of them, Hue (pure colour) and Tint (colour and white) in order to provide an artistic spectrum of the two.

The centre of the image starts with small cylindrical shapes with a very pure hue of colour to each one – the image seems to expand toward the edges of the page.

As the cylinders get further out they get larger in size and gain greater tint respectively until the edge of the page where the shapes are so large they can hardly be made out.

Also, at the far edges of the image the colour is to the very far end of the tint spectrum and as such it is almost impossible to see what colour or hue the shapes were.
