Turquoise Tango is an abstract work, based on landscape. I went out to paint on a bitterly cold morning in January to the (magenta) running track . I loved the colour of the track and the shapes formed from different angles. In the studio I completed this piece, which is the sister canvas to 'Magenta Mischief' also on site. Working both pieces together and adding the shape of the track to this piece, I felt on completion it had an oriental feel to it , perhaps coming from the subconscious , as I have visited India several times.

Maggie LaPorte Banks artist comments: "My Art is routed in landscape, influenced by childhood memories of Donegal, by Lough Swilly, surrounded by dark mountains. I spent ten years living near to the Brecons Beacons and painting using a tent as a studio in all seasons. For over thirteen years I was an artist in residence in a cottage on the end of Cape Cornwall overlooking the Brisons at different times of the year. Therefore, I have a vast amount of passion for the skies, sea and mountains which I love to involve within my paintings. My recent works have been developed from these roots and are becoming much more abstract, focusing on 'the essence of place' through the colours I use and emotions I have created. I work mainly in oils, acrylic and mixed media, sometimes adding unique materials such as sand, carborundum, iron fillings and many other products I feel the work dictates."
