This is part of a series of ten small paintings that I made all at the same time in the following sizes: six 11 x 8.5 inches on textured polypropylene (Yupo), one 14 x 11 inches on gessobord, one 16 x 12 inches on watercolor paper, one 16 x 12 inches on canvas, and one 40 x 26 inches on textured polypropylene.
Good energy in this one. I do like the Miro-stars (upper left). It's a bit discombobulated in the middle, but not necessarily in a bad way. You can see Marm's butt in the lower left. I kind of love the swooping pink brush stroke going up towards the upper left corner under the blue poured paint but on top of the melon-red watercolor background. Like a ghost escaping a party.
These pieces are pretty little tangles of possible space. I'm continuing my series of doing a number of small paintings all at the same time. I had been going large in my work for almost all of 2020 and the first part of 2021, so I wanted to see what would happen if I pulled it back to a smaller format. There is something a little more refined here, perhaps a little more careful, but still spontaneous and free.
