16×20 in. mixed media on illustration board.
Sometimes I think why not use a straight-edge when doing these pieces that have long straight lines…but then they would lack the character and personal touch I enjoy in my lines. Plus from time to time a nice accident will happen such as the shard on the bottom of the reddish rectangle…the original didn’t reflect my continuing the off-centered yellowish rectangle’s line thru it. After that,I tapered several lines for balance. As for the colors, well the darker blues started as paint samples from Lowes, and the name of the color “night shift.” That got me to thinking, I always enjoyed working 3rd shift, and some of my best ideas came during those hours…so now you know. Also short of a soda can and clouds this is a version of the finger series believe it or not.

Beautiful! The colors are stunning! Many, many blessings to you..Robin
Really like the hard angular geometry. It’s very disciplined and somewhat chaotic at the same time. Nice.
Beautiful! Love the vibrant colors!
Yes – down with the straight edge – the differnce between something hand made and something manufactured!
Your lines are like mine, they are even much better, love the end result it gives a great charcter to your painting and better feeling. well done.
You can never buy too much of that deep prussian? blue. Gives such depth and offsets the orange tones – great.
You are so right about not using a straightedge. The artist’s hand is totally missing when a mechanical assist is employed. Good for you for resisting, and for the right reasons!
