Well, I wanted to go in a different direction with my paintings, and I certainly have. I'm working mostly with painting knives instead of brushes, laying down spots or notes of color next to one another instead of blending. I like the concept of letting the viewers eyes blend the colors, and its a much more spontaneous way for me to paint.
This is so much fun to do, and I really like my first attempts.
"Summers Last Lavender"
24" x 30"
"Abandoned Beauty"
24" x 30"
The painting I'm currently working on, shown below, demonstrates a closeup of the color notes I lay next to each other:
