Hello all, this blog week is going to be focused on painting, and
I am continuing today with a second oil abstract, attempting to capture the
beauty of the ocean and the wonders of a coral reef. In case you missed it, at
the beginning of the week I shared the first abstract in this Ocean Series of
paintings titled, “Coral Reef,” and now here is “Coral Reef II.”
This second work is a bit smaller, only 12 x 24 inches—a panoramic
canvas that I have oriented as a portrait. My primary motivation behind
creating a similar work to the last piece was that I felt that there were
several points which could be improved on from the last composition. First,
the Prussian blue was a bit too dark, especially when viewed in diffused light
setting, so my solution was to utilize more of the liquid white medium. Second,
the red was not a vibrant as I had imagined it to be in my head when I began
the last piece, to fix this, I determined to use Permanent Red in the place of
Naphthol Red. I really like the way this piece came together and may create a
third in the near future.
