(sold)
This (12" x 12") piece was created for a recent exhibit at my church. The pieces I create for this venue are generally passages from the Bible. This passage happens to be from John 15. "La Vid Verdadera" is Spanish for "The True Vine."
The cruciform format simply means that the design space is divided into four quadrants. I've made each quadrant unequal to add variety, drama, and movement. The green and orange combination is a split complement and has a power punch because the green is diluted, but the orange is intense and undiluted. Using a diluted color right beside a bright undiluted color creates a glowing effect. It's a wonderful way to "kick it up a notch". (Color can be diluted by adding white...some of the direct complement...or another neutral color.)
Notice, too, that every corner is different. Designing the corners helps to ground the piece and keep the viewer's eye focused within the piece.
Since this is not a (6" x 6"), this piece will not be posted on ebay. Any interest or questions should be directed to me via e-mail or leaving a comment.
