Contrasts 1


Contrasts 1
Acrylic on Paper, 6x6

The motivation of this abstract painting was to explore the use of underlying texture with contrasts in hue, value, intensity, temperature, and line.  I am also tying an unusual focal area at the center top at the edge of the painting which intentionally breaks several rules of composition.  I wanted to see if it would work - I think it does and creates a little tension as well.
