I thought you might like to see some of the art process from my latest painting “This Side of Heaven”
Unfortunately I only took a few photos shots but it might give you a little glimpse into how the painting developed.
After the initial black and white layer here are some early layers of blues, lilacs and lemons. As you can see there has been a fair bit of paint dripping going on.
Then I have begun to add some reds.
Followed by some oranges.
After this I had a fairly large gap of time way from my art studio. About two weeks away. I was very much looking forward to coming back and working on it. It’s hard to leave a painting when you are in the zone. But because of our enforced time apart we were very glad to see each other again and I was filled with enthusiasm on my return.
The final part of the process was to work into the negative space and bring it all together. This is where my mind begins to see the suggestion of a meadow full of flowers. Maybe there is a hint of January frost in there too.
I loved the final outcome.
Titled “This Side of Heaven”. 24″ x 28″acrylic on canvas.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of my art process.
