Acrylic on canvas, 36x48"
I have been playing around with paint, making non-objective paintings. I say 'non-objective' rather than abstract, which I admit is a little of my art-school-thinking rubbing off on me. This isn't a loose interpretation of anything and no plan was afoot as I painted it, other than painting over something else which was dead boring and safe looking.
I want to have big luscious brush strokes of color and movement and that I finally did get... on the third try.
You certainly achieved the movement and the colors are luscious.
ReplyDeleteI can see where the title came from... very nice, and a great way to get paint on the canvas. It's been a long time since I played with my paints and canvas... this might just inspire me to play around!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours - you have my favourite soft turquoise/green in there - I love the movement and your bold brush strokes,it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYummy,luscious colors! Julie
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, your painting reminded me of a question I have for you. A few years ago, you posted something on your blog on how to add a shadow to the artwork in an image so that it popped forward from the background--like the first image in this post. I have googled and can't seem to find an answer. Would you mind telling me how you do that?
