Of course zig zag lines are trees, right? Very conical ones, reaching for the sky! You can make of those shapes what you choose. This painting slips more into being a landscape than some others in the series. The lively blue and orange work well together with the sgraffito lines create textural interest.
The series began with excitement. I looked forward to experimenting further with some techniques I had recently started to use. I wasn't disappointed! There's a combination of drawing with acrylic paint pens and graphite, spraying those with water and adding paint with brushes.
As I worked intuitively with the water, creating effects, it seemed the series was becoming more about water, both literally and subject-wise. Suddenly, I could see all sorts of water themed ideas within most of the images. These moments when things come together are what we all dream of! I hope you find these small paintings interesting and fun.
