Painting - Acrylic On Eucaboard

Description

16 x 20 acrylic painting on Eucaboard. This painting was done on April 9, 2012 to qualify for a special exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art. I had to paint something that was influenced by the artist, Jules Olitski, for an exhibit with the Findlay Area Call to Artists for special exhibition honoring Olitski's Exhibition.

I just heard about the exhibition on Easter and waited till the next day before deciding to try to paint something. I got it painted, framed, and turned in the same day and was accepted into the Museum. I am also showing two other pieces, Wisdom and Evangel of Hope into the Exhibition.
Jules Olitsk was an artist who studied color and liked metalic paints. I also love brilliant colors and decided to paint my own impression of a redbud tree that had mesmerized me on Saturday, when I was at a park and saw a beautiful redbud tree. The sky was so clear with rich blue colors and the tree was just loaded with pink buds. I decided to reduce my painting to color only and let the viewer use their imagination to fill in the blanks. I used iridescent paints and metalic paints to capture more subtle nuances and variety of color, while keeping the colors brilliant and clean.
