Complements To Bull Creek, 6 x 8
This morning, a group of us met to paint along Bull Creek. Knowing I wouldn't have as much time as usual today, I decided to bring a small board and some pallet knives and just have fun.
I like the abstract quality of pallet knife paintings, and in this case I added to the abstraction by painting the simplified forms in the complements of their actual color. (Actually, here I used split complements, which gives you more colors to choose from, and theoretically still allows the colors to work in harmony.)

I found this a fun way to try something a little different.

I knew you'd gone to Bull Creek this morning. When I saw this, my first thought was that I'd slept through summer and it was fall already. Fun is good. . .
This is quite a splendid departure from your work...very nicely done. I enjoy your work in any form but this is so immediate and intuitive.
fantastic, I like so much this force of expression, this picture says a lot to me!
I agree with all the other comments. I too like all your work but this is a fun way to shake things up a bit!
I love this Stephen. I'm still struggling with loosening up - I think I'll try an exercise like this.
