Bold or Confronting

Bold or Confronting?

Is the final result bold or confronting?

Is Red Playground-Finish What You Started bold or confronting? It was the first work tackled in my quest to create 52 abstract works in 52 weeks as a way to help me explore and relax.  Thereby, the studio became my playground where I could approach each piece with child-like wonder.

Simply playing

With no plan for the final outcome, I simply played. Consequently, a gentle and glowing work emerged with beautiful colours, designs, and shapes of Inktense and pigment ink on top of my pre-treated support.

Bring Out the Big Guns

In the last video, I felt the work lacked oomph. Therefore,  I brought out the “big guns”. That’s what I called my chisel-tip pigment ink pen. It changed everything. Click here to watch the previous video.

In order to emerge with  a cohesive piece, the tamer left side of the diptych would need to respond appropriately to the combative right side. I invite you to watch the battle and resolution by watching the video at the top of the page.
