MonoChromes

Here I am working in a monochromatic color scheme with oil on wood panel. I have not yet decided on a title for this one. As it sits in the studio I look at it each day and wait for it to speek it's name. For now, I'll call it "Blue". Its cool blue color gently blends from dark to light and back to dark again. With lines flowing in a circular fashion there are many ways of interpreting its meaning. Depending on the state of mind when viewing it can conjour up thoughts of things from the female reproductive organs to organic patterns. This abstract work is the first in a series of monochromatic works.

I'll call this one "Green" for now. It too is an oil but on canvas. This abstraction of swirling green evolves from its simple primary yellow and blue color to its more complex secondary green color. The central circular formation serves as a base, or seperator, of the two legs. A torsoless figure (meaning you can only see the legs) sits on a ball; or is it an egg emerging from between the two legs?

This painting, like "Blue", is but a piece a greater puzzell. Each panel I create must be able to stand on its own, but fit into a larger design. We'll see how they all emerge.





Ok, so this one is not exactly monochromatic. These colors are the same from "Evolution of Herstory" Again with the swirling, spiral of color evolving from one to the next and back again. The warm colors are full of heated energy. Blue and Green are much calmer paintings than this one which for now I will call "Funnel" All these heated colors funneling into what? The next painting in the series. Time to go paint!
