DESCRIPTION:

 

Sometimes paintings are torture to produce, other times they just seem to create themselves in record time. This is one of the latter. I had just finished a series of paintings based on my memories of New Zealand, each of which took a lot of time and effort. Looking back on them, I wasn't happy. Scheduled to meet with an artist friend of mine for our weekly critique session, I was concerned that I didn't have anything to show her. With less than an hour to spare, I put out a piece of Yupo (plastic) paper, dug out my rubber wedge and a tube of Cad Red Medium and put the first strokes down. Tired of pretty pastel colors, I looked for something I thought wouldn't go with the red ... and pulled out a really old tube of Deep Magenta. With that down, I again looked for an unattractive color and picked Yellow Ochre. The only thing left was to add black and repeat some of the other colors to pull it all together.
