TODAY'S PAINTING
This is my 60th painting (60/100) and is shown in my 100 paintings gallery and my shop
For each of the last 100 days of 2018, I will be painting and posting on:
Instagram (@mikewilldridge) and Facebook (Mike Willdridge - Artist)
an original painting as part of my journey towards abstraction.
This is a watercolour and gouache painting titled:
"Sixty"
Horizontal or Vertical?
This painting started off with a central column of warm red and orange colours;
the warmth of which is emphasised by cool colours on the outside.
However, I felt this painting needed a different focus which is the dark blue line.
To my mind the vertical line keeps this painting abstract.
I tried turning the painting so the line became horizontal and felt I lost some of it's abstract qualities
- the line then suggested a landscape or seascape.
What do you think?
