Experimental Fracturing.
6x8in oil on canvas board 100.
The third painting of these amazing freesias.
Artist Note:
Same flowers, same arrangement but trying for an abstract.
I painted them first in my normal, direct method and then took my
palette knife to break up the structure. It came and went several times,
but I enjoyed seeing what happened with each attempt.
I found I was making a focal area with a couple of the white freesia
by adding a little more definition...but I liked it and kept it in.
The three of these freesia paintings were all demos for the class.
Each painting had its own group of supporters but this one
received the most interest.
I'm not surprised it did! It works relly well, I guess it reduces the painting to it's most important elements - colour and it's relationships. There's a freshness about it too and after painting it three times that's an achievement.
