March 8, '13 , Acrylic on Gessobord (3/4" birch sides) 12" x 12" Ready-to-Hang
This painting is a study in creating textures. I start with warm colors - yellow-orange, oranges, and reds. As I apply each color, I apply texturing techniques, uncovering the color beneath it. I did not have anything particular in mind. I study it to see if anything suggests itself to me. The first cool color applied is the teal color (this looks aqua on my computer, but it is sort of between aqua and teal...perhaps tealqua?) The brown/caramel color on top of the teal creates a warm olive green tone. Nice. This pleased me greatly. I love the feeling of tapestry that emerges in these textured areas in the background. The red and orange really pop in contrast. At this point I start to see a landscape, but a stylized landscape. I needed something outrageous and unexpected to liven this up...ahhhh....rich, moss green. Finished!
