Lately, I have been making paintings that are about patterns and movement, and this was an idea I had to make the same pattern reappear on the people and in the background. I obviously love bright colors and I try to use them to emphasize people's interaction, while painting patterns to give them energy. Though this one is rather small (16" x 20"), I have been painting large ( 3' x 4'), and have really loved it; I think it is so much more fun and easier to capture movement on big canvases.
Hey Nancy, great use of colors! You did a great job using repetition of shapes, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYour ideas are very creative, and I love your use of color. Your work translates very well on larger canvases, and I can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteYour use of pattern is interesting as it flows from the couch to the clothing and throughout the picture. I would like to see you explore it more.
ReplyDeleteI like that you used the warm colours,this make me feel more strongful of human interactions :) The used of patterns reminds me Henri Matisse style(fauvism). You did crop well and composition is looking good!
ReplyDeleteNancy, I have learned a lot from your use of the figure, patters, movements, and the way you put your paintings together like puzzle pieces. It is exiting how you see the world and the people around you and how your work is so unique to you. I could spot your work out of a million paintings and that is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThe pink and green color scheme of your blog is burning holes in my retinas lol. Anyway, I like the warm colors in your painting. It conveys a very "comfy" feeling upon looking at it. If I had to make any suggestions, I'd say to try adding more contrast... Shadows, cooler colors... it'd make your figures stand out more. :)
ReplyDeletereally good, nancy. keep up the good work.
