Take it Away IV Painting

About the painting. Take is Away. This little painting is part of my Little Gems Series of paintings, many of which were made in front of a workshop group to illustrate a concept or technique. Inspired by practice, they are a joy to create and share with you here! I entitled this painting 'Take it Away' because there are two other little paintings adjoining this piece and in their creation I actually took away the corrugated cardboard and left open white space. I loved how this looked! So I kept it and it also inspired the name! I also pondered the concept of taking things away from the painting, rather than continually adding and observing the beauty and experience the ease of creating this way.
