24"x24", oil on canvas
This painting started with the grapey purple-blue color, and I looked around the studio at the canvases I'd prepared in various bright colors, finally decided this phthalo green one would be a good contrast.
I'm not thrilled with the all-over feeling, as it begins to feel like wallpaper or fabric. I was thinking about going back in and repainting the green a more opaque color, but in fact one of the few things I'm pleased with is the way the lighter green at the bottom modulates the purple in different ways. I can kind of see painting it in a subtle spectrum so that it undulates a little more in the background.
