The final position in my grid is second painting totally surrounded by others in the grid. This painting has more variations in texture than in color. The composition stands by itself, however, with enough white space and faint charcoal lines to keep the interest of the viewer. The small blue patch at the upper right appears to be […]
The tenth, or penultimate position in my grid is one of only two paintings in this series totally surrounded by other paintings of the grid. This painting has a wider range of colors than most of the other grid entries. It also is continues the patterns of the adjacent grids. I like the charcoal lines that […]
The ninth position in my grid is directly above grid #8, and is the last of the three portrait-oriented grid entries. It is also the final painting on the perimeter of the original grid of 11 paintings. Combined with the painting in grid #8, we see the continuation of the gentle curve of the red-gray-blue arc. The […]
The eight position in my grid is to the left of grid #7 (at the 7 o’clock position) continuing in the clockwise direction on the original grid of 11 paintings. Out of the eleven individual paintings, #8 is one of three that is oriented in the portrait position (where the short dimension is the width and the long […]
The seventh position in my grid is directly to the left of grid #6, continuing to move in a clockwise direction on the original grid of 11 paintings. The design on this grid entry stands on its own, but is also part of the whole. However, if this grid entry was a jigsaw-puzzle part of the bigger grid, I venture […]
The sixth position in my grid is directly below grid #5, continuing to move in a clockwise direction on the original grid of 11 paintings. The design on this grid entry stands on its own, but the red curve is a continuation of the line begun in the previous sequential grid entry. [Note: I didn’t think that grid […]
The fifth position in my grid is directly below grid #4, also moving in a clockwise direction on the original grid of 11 paintings. We have a somewhat different design in this module. It reminds me of a solar eruption. It is incomplete and unbalanced. This design doesn’t make a lot of sense unless paired with the next grid […]
The fourth position in my grid is the next sequential painting in the clockwise direction on the original grid of 11 paintings. Red is beginning to show on the left; the skinny blue and red lines move toward the right edge, compared to the same color lines as the painting in grid position #3. This study […]
Today’s feature is on of the early small format scratchers that I executed (see Scratchers, The Series). It is more abstract impressionists than purely abstract, as I have included figurative elements.
Today’s feature is a combination of crumpling and scratching. It has a slightly different palette than previous studies, in addition to strokes of white charcoal.
