Day 3 - The View Out The Window

The View Out the Window, Acrylic on Gessoboard, 6"x6", $50

Day 3 of the 30 Day Challenge! 

I've been fascinated with grid, cruciform and strata compositions for some time and I've avoided them like the plague. Why? Because I had no idea how to make such linear compositions work. And I figured my engineering training would intrude and amplify the potential for rigidity and dullness, so better to stay away.

Well today I decided to challenge myself to tackle these compositional forms. This painting uses a grid pattern. I chose to amplify the lines and wound up with a stained glass effect. I plan to spend some time messing with different ways to use these compositional structures. When done well, they create some really interesting paintings.
