092007 Artist Kenneth John KEN
sometimes you just look at a blank toned canvas (i tone mine with alizarin crimson or cadium red and odorless paint thinner) and you can see a painting in them. when i am at the beach, on certain days you can see the iceplant and other wildflowers blooming. this painting is my thoughts of some wild red flowers rising in the sun and blowing in the wind!
the loose impression style painting stroke is basically using vertical strokes and horizontal strokes to create contrast. greens were made with ultramarine blue and cadium yellow pale, toned down with alizarin crimson and yellow ochre.
