Labyrinth
The design for a fun, geometric, abstract oil painting, presented itself out of my sketches for my contemporary mountainscape painting, Silver Ridgelines. Grading the same blue used as an accent in that painting so they would hang well together, I capture the gestural feeling of a sharp spiral in a focused way while exploring the abstract side of things. I kept it monochromatic so the viewer can be drawn into the piece by the movement.
