"Running in Circles" abstract geometric acrylic by Carol Nelson

Running in Circles

I admit that I was just playing around with this painting.  I put a generous layer of gesso on the paper, then quickly inscribed the circles (freehand!) in the wet medium.

When dry, you have the dreaded white surface staring at you, BUT, it has these marvelous forms already on the surface.  I decided to try a muted palette of transparent red oxide, cad red, black and white.  I like the contemporary look of this painting.
