In my last blog post I addressed the theme of design and happenstance.
The work I present today (Acrylic on paper 10 x 15 cm), is again something that happens within seconds.
The "design" in the making is the colours of the palette, and the tools used.
Then the painting "happens" naturally, intuitively and very quickly. Of course, as an artist one is "informed" about the composition. This realisation has brought me full circle on the upward and ever increasing circle. My early paintings (I was self taught and used my colours instinctively) that look similar were "constructed" painstakingly.
I now have tools to shift to bigger canvases with my colour fields.
I break off now for Easter and will be back with new posts in about two weeks.
Much light!
