Layers of Life - Acrylic on 16" x 20" gallery wrapped canvasHere are some shots of this painting as it evolved...
I began working on this painting this weekend and found that I was getting too tight and too literal with my "circle" theme.
Today I went in with bright colors to open up the space and get a lot more action happening.
I was really feeling the turquoise/orange/yellow combo...
And then I started to get into the feeling of lots and lots of layers in various levels of translucency...
The finished product has this wild, frenzied action all over the surface with a gradual lightening as it works towards the top. I am feeling inspired by Lee Krasner's Noon - a piece that has moved me for years - as well as the abstract qualities of the great impressionists. I still have farther to push this series but I'm really liking where I'm headed right now.
