Visions (2015)
29 AugAnother de Kooning inspired piece. I went for vibrant colors with an under wash of coffee left over from the day before. The subtle brown wash was the perfect background for the colors I chose. I have never used coffee to paint with but was actually very pleased with the result as a page wash. Normally I mix a wash with a touch of brown, white, and yellow. The white usually dominates the mixture and this creation provides a subtle wash for the background of my paintings, but I drink coffee everyday and almost never finish the pot! Please enjoy this piece and please feel free to offer feedback, I am always open to hearing how my work connects or doesn’t connect with viewers.
