What I had in mind was that I was going to create a series of seasonal paintings...I've done the same concept before but another style that time too...I was thinking of a painting made almost entirely of circular organic shapes, with extra colours and circles within circles....inspired by the likes of Norval Morrisseau, bright bold colours, very graphic...and so on.
What I ended up with was something very different. Mr. Morrisseau would no doubt NOT be impressed, but in my defence I abandoned that concept almost immediately after beginning.
My head was in the clouds today. I've been thinking of a couple people who've lost those very close to them in the last couple days, considering spirituality, mourning, grief, letting go and such. So perhaps that's why this ended up looking like it did. I "think" I like it but I don't consider myself much of a romantic and this looks like that to me.
(I also so hope that heaven is a little more rockin' than this too....assuming I'd be admitted that is...and that this isn't my subconscious giving me a window to the great hereafter!)
Perhaps it ended up like this only because it was my spring version?? A little sticky sweet, perhaps I can make a winter storm next or a really miserable autumn day...more matching to my volatile character!
I do like the globs of paint, it created a bit of texture which is hard to see in this image but pretty cool when the board is in front of you. I will continue the series for the remaining 3 seasons and hope when they're all together it looks cool.
