"JIGSAW 2" 11060, daily painter geometric abstract quadtych © Carol Nelson Fine Art




"JIGSAW 2"


                    


                    


                    


                    


This quadtych four panel painting was a nightmare to photograph.  Each 12x12 inch panel is framed in a black floater frame with gold trim, which I felt compelled to show in the photo.  When you show framing, however, it makes it difficult to crop the image to a true square.

The composition of any painting is critical to its success.  I like to start students in my mixed media workshops out with the composition pattern of "two lines, two circles". This painting shows how you can expand on that simple pattern into a more complex painting.
