| "Forest Whispers" - 8" x 10" acrylic on 3/4" ampersand cradled panel | | | | | | |

I am becoming addicted to this negative painting technique, at least on this slick ampersand panel surface. I started with the main leaf in the foreground, then "found' new shapes around and behind the this leaf as I intensified the values. Then I tried to imagine the criss-crossing of stems and twigs on the forest floor as well as little openings of light through the vegetation. This is so much fun!
I varnished the painting and painted the sides black. The painting does not need to be framed. However, I tried it in a black floating frame and it really made the colors pop.
Let me know what you think.
I am offering this painting through my
Daily Paintworks site.
Chritiane, sorry it's taken a while to visit. Company, travels, and many duties got in the way of art and blogging.
