This painting began as a 1" thumbnail sketch. Loved the movement, the 'intersections' of line and form. Keeping with my theme of "Intersections" I moved color around until it was pleasing and a bit subdued. I think I scrubbed off more paint than I left on the surface, one reason oil painting can be an expensive endeavor.
Love the subtle transitions between areas in lower left and how the dash of blue in the middle pulls everything together.

I like the composition, too. I like the flow of the lines and how small supporting lines come off the main ones, but perhaps the work needs more visual texture. It may be the photograph but the work looks a bit flat on my monitor.
ReplyDeleteWell, you asked!
Thanks Jo for your feedback. That's exactly what I want - good constructive suggestions. When you say 'flat' do you mean texture or color, contrast? Jen
ReplyDeleteI like it Jen, the movement in it is great! Did you check out my new abstract?
