Acrylic on gessoed Masonite - 20x16
This painting represents a new direction for me in a number of ways. It is in acrylic which I have done before, but it is with larger brushes. I have kept to a limited pallet - cadmium yellow med. cadmium orange, permanent rose, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, ultramarine violet, burnt umber, and white.
I have deliberately exaggerated the forms, limited the color and detail, and focused on shapes and glazes to define the scene.
I am going to give this piece a rest for a few days before I sign it and put it away.
