Midday Riot

Acrylic on hardboard, mounted on grey clipboard. 6” x 8”

Ha, Midday Riot (as named by my husband!) was one of my first attempts to just put down the paint and see what happens. Pick 5 colors and create shapes and movement and see what the end result would be. It was my approach to an abstract on a small substrate at the time. I was not sure about painting on such small boards, wondering how could I fit it all in, how can you design such a small space. It was an adventure and it was successful. I learned alot about color, movement, space and composition from working on this small piece. The colors draw me in and the movement does give the midday riot feeling!
