Earth

I lightened the Earth and tried to make the tree hold together while still descriing the spirals.  Tree of Life

Tree of Life

More spirals.  I need to emphasize the edge of the world at the bottom.  Would different colors make this more appealing?  Yeah, to who?  Am I once again relying more on color than structure?  Are my paintings skeletonless?Tree of Life

around the bend

I tried to show the painting around the side of the panel.  Actually I painted with the panel upside down today, but thru the magic of Photoshop, this image is right side up.   A painting should look as good upside down, and backwards, as seen in a mirror.  I regularly use a hand mirror.1-29-10

Edges

I should have taken this photo off axis.  I painted the edges.  I’m still considering “embellishing” the panel w/ something to emphasize the spirals.1-28-10

oil paints are my favorite

I know lots of people work in acrylics, especially on a piece so large.  I love the way the panels take the oil paint and the depth of colors.  Many are colorists. I’m a coloroholic.  I’m happy with these.   I will hang them with a space between each one.   Now I have to find a wall big enough to show them off.  Any corporate types out there?
