Painting-A-Day: September 23, 2013

Acrylic on Archival Gessobord with 2" Stained Birch Sides, 12x12", Ready to hang!

All I can say is, I find painting in the abstract endlessly fascinating, challenging, and exciting! So those of you who have been following me for a while have seen this painting go through changes. It was first posted on April 30 and changed on August 6. Well, this morning I remembered that I forgot to varnish the birch sides of the next batch of gessobords, which need to dry overnight. So I wondered if I had a previous painting that was screaming for some additional attention. While I liked the changes I made to the first rendition, adding the tissue paper in light blues and greens, it still didn't seem finished to me. I felt adventurous today so I took it to my worktable and loaded my brush with a rich red cadmium and it was the beginning of a whole new painting, as you can see. It has evolved and speaks to me of a solitary flame. What is it about a candle's flame that is so mesmerizing and soothing?

This painting has SOLD!

Hi Robyn - is red cadmium an orangey red? or is it blending with some yellows? Thanks.

Hey, Georgi! It is a true red...but it leans toward a red-orange. There are places where it is over a bit of yellow and over brown, so it looks more like a red-orange in places. Clear as mud? :)
