Summer Will Come


Summer Will Come

There is not much at all I can say about this artwork. Those who follow this blog will be aware that I have been working on a series of abstract paintings in acrylic on acrylic paper. The theme of the series has been and is Vivaldi, The Four Seasons. 

Yesterday I showed you one of the discards of the process. Today I think I show you the one that will remain part of the four.  This one is based on the colours I associate with summer. I have one concern about this artwork and that is, I think it may be bit too busy.

I became aware yesterday in the process of this work just how wasteful I can be. I need to tighten up my thinking and the processes of my art. A few weeks ago I began to paint these smaller abstracts with mounts. I am not exactly sure how many I have produced, and for that matter how many I have sold, but I have one sheet of the acrylic paper left in the pad I began with. THe original pad contained 40 sheets. 

Something like half of my work finds its way into the bin.

  2. Ralph, I am not sure about the blue, maybe water? but in all the rest I see clearly the colors of my garden, the carrots, corn celery, tomatoes and more. I really like this one. It would make a great calendar page for maybe August?
