BLUE-VIOLET ATMOSPHERE

Acrylic, sand, fabric on canvas

4ft. h x 4ft. w 1981

To create this painting and others like it I used a process of staining to apply the acrylic paint into the weaves of the canvas while it was lying flatly. My goal was to achieve an appearance that suggested watercolor my favorite painting medium.

Blue-Violet Atmosphere inspired my organic forms in my initial proposal of "Light Dance" which were suspended with an accompanying wall relief.

The painting is in a private collection.
