"Seasonal Colors I & II" are 30x24" each, acrylic on canvas. They were created first by filling each canvas with loose gestural brushwork edge to edge. Then the tree shapes were carved out using negatives shapes (spaces between) in simplified muted complimentary colors meant to push the richness of the oranges and greens. The flat background creates quiet contrast with the energy within the tree forms. I enjoy the dichotomy of the two images together, one warm against cool and the other cool against warm. They almost look like they are having a lively and secret conversation. I started these some time ago but have only recently revisited and completed them.
