Breadth #12
I can't believe it's over! This is my 24th piece of art this year..wow. I wanted to do another colorful/abstract piece for this one. I referenced Klee and tried to create a composition solely based on color and shape. I based my colored blocks loosely upon a triadic color scheme, and intensified and dulled certain areas to make the composition more interesting. Yet I felt like the work needed something else, so I (of course) turned to newspaper...and then Philip gave me the idea that I was painting a bird's eye view of farmlands with a road running through it and shadows of the clouds on the ground, which I thought worked. But I'm starting to realize that I still don't really know how to do abstract art..every time I try I kind of don't know what I'm doing. So I painted on top of it some more to try to enhance the composition...so yeah. There you go.
