The Deep Blue Sea (Unframed original abstract acrylic painting on stretched canvas, 36 x 36 inches)
(2021. Acrylic, 36 x 36 inches)
The pattern for this painting is from a much smaller collage on a panel that I made last summer using my own hand-printed abstract cyanotypes of bay leaves cut into strips and assembled in tight columns. The effect is rather like a mosaic, quilt or tapestry. I find inspiration in the simple shapes of Ellsworth Kelly’s collages and paintings and the repeating rows and patterns of Agnes Martin and Anni Albers.Not one drop of white paint was used in this painting. The varying shades of indigo were mixed as glazes (clear varnishes) with different amounts of blue added to the viscous, transparent base. More than one layer was applied to build up the intensity of the blues which retain a certain translucence when viewed in person. The 1 1/2 inch deep sides are left a clean bright white making it unnecessary to frame.
UNFRAMED. Depictions of works in frames and in situ are just to give a sense of scale and to know how they would look once framed.
All prices include free shipping within the United States via UPS ground shipping. A tracking number will be provided.
