Acrylic on Archival Gessobord with 3/4" Birch Sides, 12x12", Ready to hang!
Today I challenged myself to keep it simple. This is indeed a challenge for me. You may have noticed from my larger paintings (www.RobynSandAnderson.com) that I can get lost in complex juxtapositions. (Sounds like something a museum curator would say on a gallery tour..."A-hem....this artist uses complex juxtapositions at every turn!," he said as he adjusted his monocle and twirled his moustache.)
Let's see, where were we? Oh, yes. I start with some bold brushstrokes of magenta over an underpainting of light burnt sienna. Wow! That felt so good. Magenta is a beautiful, beautiful color. I get lost in stuff like this, but the clock keeps moving me along. I start to see the suggestion of a landscape and that is all the lead I need to move forward. I think the next steps through while holding onto the reins a bit. I am trying to use as few applications and brushstrokes as I can. I want a fresh feeling of pure color. It is true that sometimes less is more, simpler is better. Not always, but sometimes, yes.
This painting has SOLD!
