Day Thirty


24"x24", oil on canvas - in progress

This came directly from one of my sketches yesterday. I want to keep the rings related to blue in some way, and at the moment my palette is a sea of blues. I'm looking for more complex colors, less optical arrangements, and a more emotional approach to geometric abstraction.

Somehow these shapes remind me of oysters. I was also really attracted to the deep indigo centers with just plain lines around them where I sketched out the rings - I should remember that it's okay (and probably preferable) for my paintings to resemble my drawings sometimes.
