I started this painting in 1973 to satisfy a college art course requirement but I wasn't satisfied with the outcome of this "complimentary colors" project painting. This painting started out with a dump of gesso and a pour of thalo green paint with orange surround and a bit of dry tempera paint sprinkled in the background. Very boring.
Just for the fun of it, last year I attended a "textured painting" workshop and dug this old painting out of our dormer to rework it, rather than starting from a blank canvas like everyone else in the group. I added much more texture, added the purples, reds, etc., also added "shine" to portions of the original thalo green.
If I remember correctly, this is the only completely abstract style painting I've ever done.
