| Barriers, Acrylic on Crescent Board, 10"x10", $75 |
Today's painting is the result of what Twyla Tharp calls scratching -when faced with a lack of ideas, search among the experts for new ideas or avenues of exploration. I discovered some wonderful artists using basic elements such as fields of color, spacial division, lines, and layers to create wonderful, dynamic compositions. So I selected a few of the ideas that I really liked and decided to see what I could do with them. This painting primarily uses color fields and lines to create a unified, yet interesting composition (I hope.)
After painting the color fields, I added the line-work. I started with the thin, curly lines, then decided they were too consistently alike. So I pulled out an old credit card and added the thick, straight lines to add strength and direction. I think they helped. In the end, it think it looks like a series of barriers that have breaks in them so you can work around them if you try hard enough (kind of like the mazes in childrens' workbooks.)

This caught my eye, too! I like the bold contrast, and the line just makes for such an interesting painting!
