Seattle cityscape acrylic painting with a huge white void floating behind a building and above the street. The painting is meant to invoke the feeling of a hole left behind and cannot be filled the same as when the hole wasn't there, causing those around to have to carry on regardless.
This painting further my exploration of depicting the emotions I felt moving into my home town as a US Army Veteran and the experience of finding that I no longer fit into the whole that I left behind. I have seen and experienced too much and the city has grown around the void.
In Untitled Void, I also wanted to play with mixing Quinacridone Crimson, Cadmium-Free Yellow Light, and Phthalocyanine Blue as my primary colors instead of Naphthol Crimson, Light Hansa Yellow, and Ultramarine Blue (Green Shade).
