This painting began as a charcoal sketch on canvas, then I came in with washy large areas of the black and vermillion colors. I love the color palette in this one, I could use it in a series and continue on using this palette for 20 more paintings! Black, vermillion, ochre, cerulean and white. I mix my own black - the tubed black oil paints are too cold and black in color. . . it does make a difference. I use archival paints and processes. On gallery wrap canvas, signed and ready to hang. The title could also be "City-speak", reminds me of forms of the city.
I'm focusing on abstracts and abstracted landscapes for 2013; a new season of spring, the time of growth and I'm doing new work. Please contact me if you have questions or want to purchase.
