This is the piece i did last night during the "Rooms" event at Aloft with Art Milwaukee (which by the way was a ton of fun!). I like the name more than the piece right now. It's based off of two images, and I need to bring the second out of the painting more...It started as a painting of willow branches. I thought the dynamic dark lines on the vertical canvas would really create some great energy and motion...which it did. The second subject was a factory with two smokestacks. I thought a silhouetted, abstracted image of that would be foreboding and monolithic.... Thinking now, perhaps it should be a more abstract piece...focusing on the tiny points of like coming through the black lines...I'm not really sure at the moment. There's just not enough concentration in the piece right now...the color is too unfocused, the darkness seems disconnected....it just needs some more work and a bit of a fresh start...
