Abstract #16

Abstract #16
Gouache and Ink, 4x4 on Paper

This is number 16 of 20 in this series or exercises in abstract painting.  My goal was to use the warm corner of the color wheel for my primaries in this painting - red, cadmium yellow, a little quinacridone violet, and an old favorite, burnt sienna (which is not a primary, but....).  I worked with smooth textures on the top and broken textures on the bottom.  I placed the focal area in the center of the composition to see if it would work in a square format - I think it does.
