Description

An earlier composition. The largest frame I had ordered from this great custom stretcher bar guy... Largest canvas yet attempted, the first involved piece out of the Atelier. About 140 separate color mixes. Really interested in neutrals and local color and the visual sensation we get when we look at complementary opposites, vividness and depth... And to imagine it all moving into itself, constantly, like a portal... A window in to another world... I love windows. I walk a lot and sometimes with the blue deep of evening and the warmth pouring yellow light laughter and love out to the street... There's something about that....

Determination. Sometimes the desire to see a result or picture is so bright that it can outshine everything else in our experience. So it was with this one. I was very interested in how to make colors vivid and learning that colors are very much about contrast. So the game became “how do you make a vivid neutral?” so lots of color mixing later (I estimate about 250 separate color mixes)… c’est voila!
