Some paintings are explorations of the heart, others are explorations of the mind. 'Turquoise' is an examination of creative thinking where I observed the decisions behind each brushstroke, experimented with shape and composition and measured movement to examine light vs. dark and the balance of colours.
Evaluating what stays, what changes and what is eliminated in a composition is a fascinating but thoroughly internal process that amazes me to this day. I can tickle every inch of curiosity with my brush until the final piece both looks and feels as complete as this luscious burst of colour.
It's a strong, modern composition that invites the viewer to consider a variety of imaginative possibilities. Is this a long gaze through crystalline water, or something silhouetted across the sky? Could the form be a blossom? A brightly coloured swim cap? A hot air balloon floating across the sky?
‘Turquoise’ is also available in as a fine art print created from the original acrylic painting to bring this splash of colour to your wall decor and make you smile.
