"Two-Note Song" - 6" x 6", acrylic on canvas panel, NFS.
Two things:
1) It says Day 20 up top, but today's date is January 18th. Um... No, not a typo. I was working on the painting for Day 18 and got frustrated and a little stuck. So I took a break and started working on the painting for Day 19. Again, I got frustrated and a little stuck. So I took a break and started working on the painting for Day 20. That went much better. I will finish and post the others, out of order.
2) This is my Notan which, I suppose, should have been done as a preliminary step rather than two-thirds of the way through the project. It turned out dynamic and balanced and surprisingly loose. I always love playing with the push-pull of negative-positive space, so this makes me very happy indeed.
Information about this project is here. If you're a new visitor, I also have a fine art website and a Facebook page.
Wow, my eyes are having fun with the optical illusion nature of this piece! How often do you paint a notan as a preliminary (or not so preliminary!) step?
ReplyDeleteActually...never. ;)
