Painting Progress
Here is another one of the 16″ square paintings. I think this one is finished. It made me think of bubble gum, so I’ve titled it “Double Bubble.” It even kind of reminds me of kids’ gum that’s been — er, ah, — “disposed of” in familiar places. I had to have gum removed from my hair with scissors when I was about three.
“Double Bubble” – Acrylic on Panel, 16 x 16″
Since I enjoy breaking rules (always have!) I thought about the least predictable color combination that I could use to go with the bubble gum pink blobs that I had already added on top of the green with brown dots. At first I had the large pink blob, part of which was off the edge. Next I added the missing amount of that pink circle to the opposite side. It still didn’t seem quite right — or wrong enough, perhaps. So I added a huge blob of bright red. The tiny white specks you see are light reflections from the glossy surface.
Martha,
the red blob adds something definitely ineresting to this picture. I hid it with my hand to be sure 😉
Thanks for doing that, Ghislaine. I was afraid to!! 🙂
Fun! This is an interesting connection… I cannot wait until school is out in 7 days, and I have more time to make some art!
Amanda, there are just not enough days in the summer, are there! I hope you make the most of them!
I love “it didn’t look wrong enough” as a thought process. You know exactly what you’re looking to achieve. Very cool as always.
Ah Cath – I am still such a wayward child!!
The dark and the green dots are so interesting, the green dots could be shadows of the dark ones which adds some more 3-D effect.
One might see them that way, Eva. Interesting observation.
