"Wednesday Silhouette, 2017," is 30x30", acrylic on canvas.  This piece was actually painted a few months ago but I forgot to post it.  It started, once again, as a "brush rag," a loose and gestural sidepiece.  The under-painting had beautiful color which I wanted to emphasize.  I decided to do a still-life but wanted an unconventional approach.  I used negative-shapes (the spaces between) to create a silhouette of a vase of flowers against a window.  I left the right side undefined to emphasize the effect of a recognizable object coming to life with just a few carefully-applied flat shapes.
