"Garden Gate" 20"x 30", acrylic on canvas. I went with a more subtle approach to color with this painting. Toned down the color a bit to give it a more calming affect. I'm starting to use the free handed swirls more now. I just can't stay away from it. You can see the motion and energy that it takes to create the lines. Like most of the techniques I use to lay down the paint, there's a fine line between controlling the paint, and just letting do what it wants to do. In the case with my swirls, I want to pour the paint fast to get the look and feel of motion but still control it enough to add to the composition of the work. Depending on my mood that day, this technique can create subtle relaxing loops, or a burst of energetic lines and splashes that's hard to contain. Sometimes having a bad day can release great art onto the canvas!:)
