Romans 1:20
I finished this painting tonight. It was an experiment in color that turned out much better than I thought it might. I was trying to construct a color palette that I might be able to use in my next version of "Jonah's last look". I really think these colors work much better. I like their subtlety and how much they compliment each other. I like how they allow for expression in the brushstrokes without looking like they are so forced. I had a couple of frustrations with trying to make the brush I was using deliver the right amount of paint on the canvas. I didn't like the inconsistency as I laid the paint down it just seemed to glob on the bristles I'll have to do some research to find a new kind of brush that might help me control the paint better.
Looking at the painting it purposely lacks any strong central subject matter that leaves the viewer with a sense of emptiness and kind of thinking "so what". But consider the title and you'll have much more to think about.
