Deep Blue

Deep Blue

Deep Blue:

This painting is a 24″ x 48″ acrylic on canvas. It is a pour painting which means I used paint with extenders (agents that create a very fluid paint in which to pour onto the canvas). I decided on blues. Blues are considered cool colors (reds are considered warm). I chose an analogous color scheme so that the canvas would feel very dreamy. I started with deep blues and added lighter blues and  florescent blues to create the bold and vibrant colors you see. At dusk, this painting starts to glow and change and under a black light it sings. It is beautiful creating a piece of art that changes so dramatically with the light. I also used paint pigment to give it an extra depth. I think it feels like a deep water dive. The abstract nature really lets your imagination soar!
