Give Way, w/c, 3" x 4" |
The merging of yellow-green into deep turquoise blue was the initial thrill that launched this painting. I loved the lower edge and decided not to touch it, but to move on.
Leaving that strip of white paper almost dividing the composition in two, I plunged into the earth tones, wanting a strong contrast of color, pattern, texture and strokes. I indulged my fancy for little lines and details there, which contrast nicely with the granulation texture of the turquoise paint in the top. The touches of green and turquoise in the interstices unites the two halves in a way that pleases me.
