Personal Peaks
The original composition was an exercise using only complimentary colors plus black and white (not color) and one shape repeated, varying only in size and orientation. Purple and yellow are compliments with the greatest range in value, thereby allowing an almost infinite possibility of combinations. Whereas, for example, red and green are very close in value and have nearly identical gray scales.
The second iteration is the recycling of the above abstract painting using representational elements and words.
Sneaky Self Portrait
The female peaking out behind the purple shape is myself. A wife/mother with a husband and 6 children, not much time for art! The words are an attempt at whimsy
