All-in-All
First in what will probably become a series. I believe this is neither abstract nor color field, but rather something descriptive and on a continuum with my sunset, Solar Panel, and Tabula Rosa series. But I think I’ll do more of them before venturing to explain. These paintings are based on the first layer I often paint when doing a sunset; this time I let the first layer stand, and develop in its own direction.
Improvised Solar Color Wheel – Sunset, Tuesday, 1 July 2014
My sketch of this sunset included some improbable color notes for the area around the sun: “flat hot yellow gray (lilac) extends way out” and then “could be sepia + violet + (warm) white + yellow with optical bands of green.” (Meaning, I saw green every time I blinked.) And as the sun went down behind the mountains, there was deeper gold and violet.
