Abstract Primaries #17

Abstract Primaries #3

 Gouache on archival paper, 4x4

This painting was redone and renumbered as "Abstract #17."

This small painting went through several iterations of color and value to get where I was pleased.  I was pleased with the way structures emerged from random marks.  

This is the 3rd in a series.  I have set myself a task of doing a series of small abstract paintings primarily in gouache as an exercise to sharpen my perception of design and as a way to learn the nuances of gouache.
