"Color Spectrum" ($60.00)




















(adjusted price....$60.00...mounted on a 1.50" depth clayboard)

"Color represents the spectrum of emotion." Have your emotions ever been in constant motion like the color appears to be in this piece? If so, stop and realize that emotions can't think. Many times they can lead down the wrong path. They can be as mesmerizing as looking at moving color. Thinking on the truth of a situation is better than following emotions.

This entire piece was created by mixing three acrylic colors with Liquitex Pouring Medium. It was then poured...one color at a time...over damp paper. By tilting the paper and combing through the color, a wonderful marbelized effect happens.

The gray at the bottom happened when the black bled into that area at the periphery of the pour. It's a wonderful idea to leave part of the paper that way to show contrast and have a place to do some lettering.

This type of application is "gooey" and thick and requires overnight drying time. Using a hair dryer causes ripples in the pour so let it dry on its own. (To those in my color workshop this Saturday...this is a "sneak preview" of one of the things you will be doing.)

Just something else to try or think about.

Please contact me personally to inquire about this piece.
