Pink
30x36 inches, acrylic on canvas
This huge pink abstract painting evolved from an idea, that once I got started, turned a very sharp left. The pink part was only supposed to be an underpainting, to be seen in bits a pieces, through a layer of dark purple. But once I got started I just couldn't stop.
What I absolutely love about painting is the subtle colour variations you get by adding just a tiny bit of colour to an already existing colour. I know we all mixed red and blue in kindergarten or grade one and were astonished to get the colour purple. (Actually the girl next to me did it and I was perplexed and jealous of her because it didn't seem to work for me.) But the range of colour that exists, just waiting to happen, by adding a bit of red, or yellow, or white, even blue, really turns my crank. I'm not sure why. I just love it, like a songstress hitting a note she loves to sing.
So, needless to say, I became quite mesmerized by all these subtle shades and couldn't and didn't stop until this painting was complete, not purple like I had planned, but PINK.
