But first I would like to show you what's been going on with me doing those first 5 canvases.
Connections 1: oil on canvas - 30x30 cm - 12x12 inches (The pic doesn't do justice to the varied yellows that are there!) |
Although I worked on all five paintings at one time, there is always one that starts things off and this is it. The canvases are 30x30 cm, small enough but when there are 5 to finish in a short time they can feel very LARGE. I used a limited palette, yellow ocher, cadmium
yellow, alizarin crimson, cad. red, mineral violet, ultramarine blue, burnt umber, white. Too many colors are confusioning.
This
first piece depicts internal anatomical shapes referring to the head. The straight
white lines suggest the structural parts, the architectural drawing, the bones. I had intended to include written parts,
formulas, equations, etc., but decided to eliminate these following Janice's
thoughts about limitation, simplification.
Now I am working on a title. Something that will embrace all 5 pieces, the series.
I will post others tomorrow.
