Another day another painting! This is another new creation from just last week. I've been trying out different color combinations along with some different knife techniques and this is what came out. I call it "Spines."
I started by layering black, gray and yellow as a background which ended up feeling far too drab. I added a few streaks of white and then started creating the "spines." They didn't seem to have the punch I wanted so I kept on layering the paint on. When the layers finally started to give me some good texture, I finally started liking this one.
The red tone was the last color to go in. I usually really want to blast a rainbow of color somewhere in most of my paintings but this one had to be satisfied with red and yellow. The line down the middle also came near the end of the process. Looking back I would have moved the vertical line to the left to offset things a bit.
Overall, this painting is a bit out of my wheelhouse but still felt good to try some new things and spread out a bit as an artist. If nothing else it made me go buy newer brighter colors for the next painting!
