Abstract Conversations - Two E Painting

This piece is part of a series called Abstract Conversations.The work is made by first saturating the paper with acrylic wash in a saturated color. I then work with charcoal line, oil paint and oil bars to create the lines and form. As I work I layer, scrape off, re instate until I consider it finished. This way of working directly on paper allows me to work spontaneously and quickly, the continually worked surface builds up a rich surface quality to the work. My original inspiration for this series came from drawings made of bags describing an interior/exterior space. The painting is on paper and is sold unframed, it can be float mounted in a gallery style frame. Alternatively it can be attached to canvas and then stretched over a frame as an oil on canvas painting.
