celebration 26 32x36" oil & collage on linen, following todays re-work.
i’ve been casting critical glances at celebration 26 since i last worked on it, september 2nd. it was too confusing to the eye, so today i decided to go back into it. the overall sienna gound is pretty much gone and right now, bold blue and green forms dominate, allowing us to go between the 5 main figures more easily, while listening to the music and harmony of the overall composition. as well, i added a collaged piece of paper with a calligraphic ink drawing on the lower right portion of the composition, hiding one of the uncessarily complex portions of the composition.
something new is happening with my paintings; something more bold….
