Phoenix – Work in Progress (WIP)

I love the minimal abstract lines and shapes with limited color palette on gessoed canvas.

Still looking at it though, trying to decide if i need to add another element…

maybe some metallic silver…

maybe a shape or two going off the canvas edge…

hmm…

 

Here’s the final painting. As you can see, it didn’t take much to resolve the issue of the floating painting. I chose to stay with minimal, very subtle paint application for balance and interest.

It’s not always as obvious when to stop painting. But every once in a while…

Voila! Finished.
