Progress on Big Turquoise

Big Turquoise painting in progress
Acrylic on Canvas, 60 x 41.25 inches

“The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.”

— Piet Mondrian

I’m making slow progress on the big turquoise abstract painting. It seems to have a life of its own now. The composition is developing into a story. What story do you see?

From my Art Journal on June 6, 2023

I dream of a free-spirited approach to applying paint in active, spontaneous ways. However, my inner painter or expression seems to prefer curvy delineated shapes. The painting’s process is one more of considering the next step, feeling, and waiting for a response, a nudge, or guidance on the next move.

In Process Painting - Turquoise Painting

 

Big Turquoise (working title) in Process
41.25 x 60 inches

I began with a turquoise background. Then came the green drips, which became outlined by Burnt Umber Light. After that, I filled in with pale shades of blue and yellow. The painting evolved to the point you see it now. Enjoy the quick, short video of painting detail. 

Stay tuned as I complete this painting.
