Two Figures
10"x20" acrylic on canvas
Odds and Ends
Sometimes there are odd pieces that loosely tie in to other projects I'm working on. I change the material or the ground and find myself wandering down a path with no idea where it's leading. Somedays there is a painting or drawing that wants to make its presence known. Rather than resist, I find it more productive (and interesting) to let the conversation happen.
This painting "appeared" when I was trying to figure out the best method to create tonal contrast with acrylic paints. I found an old canvas and started experimenting with warm and cool colors over a black or white underpainting. Before long two figures emerged. They helped me make sense of the space. At one point I liked what I had so I stopped.
There are always new things to learn.
