Color Wheel

I like abstract art and lines/curves are very easy to work with but can be very elaborate if done right. I wanted to paint a sequence that blends itself into the other colors over time, I did this so the audience can see how subtle and then extreme the transitions of colors can be. I didn’t expect any particular reaction based upon the vision I went with but I expect people to just say their honest opinion of it as they have up until now. This piece has my signature wavy look to it which reminds me of many of my past works.

I always tend to go more in the abstract direction because I like the style more than realism and the end result is more of my liking. This relates to the fairly recent artists that have moved away from the realism approach that was originally established, leaving us at a time of preference. My personal preference is of course abstract which is displayed in my pieces and it fits into the more obscure art styles that have arose lately. Although I like abstract art a lot my inspiration was just the idea of abstract as a whole, no specific works were drawn from.

I always liked the art that leaves you thinking without much to go on so I wanted to recreate that. I learned through this project that easing up on my brush leaves more control even though the entire process goes a little slower sometimes as a result. All of the paint has to be done going in the same direction so that colors do not clash or mess up how the colors look on the canvas, so it took long compared to how quickly I usually finish a piece.

Basically this piece was just my abstract take on the color wheel. It took me awhile to get everything aligned right, but I’m proud of the end result.
