Confectionery Painting by Casey Matthews

Painting: Acrylic, collage, Ink, Gouache, crayon on Canvas, Paper.

I love how joyous, yet peaceful this painting seems. This one took me awhile to resolve while considering all of the drips, layers and shapes that are secretly floating and sliding around underneath, all the soft ivory negative space makes me feel mysterious, calm, playful, and want to eat some candy.

This is a non-objective and intuitive mixed-media painting (acrylic, gouache, ink, charcoal, crayon, marker, collage, paper, tape, etc) on a 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas. The sides are painted grey, and comes ready to hang. Signed and dated on the back.
Sealed with a protective matte/semi-gloss UV polymer varnish.
