So this was my attempt to create a more abstract piece. I started with a sheet of black paper and used an x-acto knife to cut out an outline of a tree. Then I layered the cut paper on top of a canvas that I had poured paints on and gone back in with colored markers. Then I covered the entire thing with a layer of clear gel medium. Now that I'm rethinking the piece, I wish I had created the cut paper tree so that the paper created the negative space around the tree and the colored background filled in the positive space. Either way, I think the piece would have turned out pretty well.

I like this piece because the composition is interesting, and you've used repetition and rhythm through the tree branches. I really admire your ability to create those small, seemingly random but successful designs in the background. Another strong piece yay.!
ReplyDeleteI like this piece because the main interest is defined by negative space. I like the contrast of the design in the background and the solid black tree.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I would buy it. I'm not even too sure about how I stumbled upon this but I'm in love.
