This abstract simple exudes a strong citrus smell. Having toured orange groves, I enjoy smelling the essence of citrus fruits. Their fragrance is refreshing and pleasing to me.
Intuitive painting allows me to try many different things when I choose. I purposefully worked with very thinned paints to on the smooth white background of the canvas, allowing the colors to breathe and give a sense of transparency in this painting. Working with a large palette knife, I gently pushed the very thin paints, moving them across the canvas. Thus, no palette knife marks may be found in this abstract. I felt saddened. Still not quite happy with it, I decided to utilize the tilting technique in fluid painting. Being pleased with the result, I decided to leave it and allow it to dry.
The abstract is signed, titled and dated on the back and ships with a Certificate of Authenticity. By signing the painting on the back this allows the painting’s orientation to be rotated in any one of four directions as desired. This alla prima, acrylic abstract is painted on stretched canvas, with abpalette knife and a gloss varnish was added upon completion, conveying a state of wetness. Canvas measures 8″ x 10″ in size.
