9"x12" acrylic on paper - in progress

I started this piece with a consummate need to use Hansa yellow, and though it isn't terribly evident, I went over the shapes as they developed with several layers of it. I've been concentrating lately on modular forms, watching patterns of growth which emerge in repetition.

Here I am using acrylic as though it were watercolor in some ways, though obviously the paper isn't suited to it. In the oblique view at left, the ridges and curved grooves on the surface of the paper become evident, and in many ways I was as interested in those as any final product. I left the piece to settle for a few days while I considered what more I'd like to do with it.
