An Ocean Was Here Painting

An Ocean Was Here is part of my Puddle Paintings, a 2013 series of works exploring color, balance, and beauty in their simplest form. Drawing upon the color choices of others by using found or donated house paints, I explored the body's visceral reaction to color, why we are drawn to certain colors, and how they affect us in our environments. As a practice in letting go, I consciously took my intention and ego out of the process and literally let the paint, or lacquer in this case, fall as it may. In this work the straight edge rising spires mimic an industrial man-made skyline. They are contrasted by the more chaotic large painterly brush strokes and the organic splash of lacquer. The lacquer puddle bulges off the canvas and remains soft underneath its hardened exterior. Mixed media: house paint, spray paint, and lacquer on canvas
