#3 of 4 in a Series of collage exploration paintings: Fishermans Wharf
The third piece took a cue from the previous piece in its color story. It differentiated itself from numbers one and two with its design, shifting the color story to include a dark foreground. The spiral theme did not carry through with this painting.
At one point, the painting looked rather dull. I made a bold move, and grabbed a nearby torn piece of paper and ran a magenta paint stroke over the edge. That was just what it needed to breath life back into it. But, the painting was not done yet. I worked a lot with the mid ground and foreground to add contrast. The upper pink section around the gold circular shape took a bit coaxing to bring itself into form.
The dark foreground received several different shades of blue-green leaning at times toward blue, then toward green, and in the end somewhere in between.
Summary of #3
All in all, I think it's lively and entertaining image. What do you think? I'd love to hear, leave a comment below.
