This painting is titled Green Formula. The sky area is bright greenish-yellow, while the green shapes at the bottom are a shade of lime green. I want to investigate this piece more. As I am painting these, my primary concern is figure-ground relationships and activating the space through color. The largest shape, dark green and rectangular, suggests that the lime-green shapes at the bottom are holes. This is done by careful attention to value, and the greenish color wanting to link up with the yellow background. But the green shapes also feel as though they are in front of the rectangle.There's also the ambiguous gray shape at the top right…does it go behind the rectangle? It certainly appears to. The single red hue is a tomato-red, and it's a very powerful force. I like mystery in Art.
