genre: abstract
size: 12" x 12"
medium: oil on canvas
date: January 20, 2009

influences: Colorist artists

technique: Short, quick brush strokes is the method I used for this series and I really like the outcome.

theme and reasoning: I wanted to do a series completely based upon the placement of color. So here, I intended to move color around the two canvases to experiment.

concept: As established above, color was the sole concept in Series Three. By placing warm colors within cool you create a focal point that jumps off the canvas. These paintings are an experiment for me as I am still new in painting with oils. It is beneficial to see the way the colors bounce off each other and is a simple but highly useful tool in any medium.
