I've got it....what about you? Longer days....warmer temps....snow melting...and so is my WAX!
A childhood memory has sparked my latest painting spree.........when I was in Grade 6 my school went to the AGO and we were asked to select a painting, study it and write an essay. I choose a Mark Rothko and stunned my teacher with an indepth interpretation. Since then I've been a big fan...and of Ad Reinhardt too...another great Colour Field artist. Simplified colour palettes, elimination of all associations and references are the hallmarks of this style.
I've been having lots of fun working in my studio experimenting with new designs, colour schemes....studying abstract expressionism....and basically exploring creative ideas.
