For months I have been working on more than two dozen small and medium sized canvases, and four larger un-stretched linen pieces. This month I've fortunately had more productive studio days. I've continued what I started in March, which was a second round of painting on my ChromaTheory under-paintings.
For it, I've been using lighter tones, among others, Golden's "Titan Pink", and lighter green shades, among others, Golden's Open "Titan Green". I am happy that the under-paintings are sitting behind or "underneath" this newest round of marks. Also, I am pleased and a little surprised that there continues to be a strong abstracted figurative aspect or feel to individual pieces...as well as to the overall body of work. Depending on how it resolves, I may call the portfolio something like ColorCoded.
Painting is an esoteric thing. It challenges me emotionally and intellectually. I find a lot about being a painter exciting. Side note: I typically document via pix as I construct a body of work, but I do not typically write about a series while I'm making it.
