Element: Floe

Description

Of floes air and fire, and creative kundalini. But as with the entire Element series, it's a see-what-your-subconscious-reflects type of abstract painting. This is a gift painting for my beloved Gemini best friend, Adam Goguen. You better damn well take care of yourself in Africa my friend! :) (hugs!)

Painting

The painting took me almost an entire weekend of total working time to complete. I serenipitously prepped the base texture months ago, but once I discovered my best friend would be in MA for all of a week, the coloring with acrylic and jacquard pearls took the better part of a weekend, a worthwhile and small effort. In the end I definitely had a statement worthy of a gift and of inclusion in the "Element" series.

Medium/texture: Modeling paste worked with saran wrap
Color: Liquitex Acrylic high concentrate pigments
Highlights (blue, green & gold): Jacquard pearl powders

Photography

This image is a digital HDR image made by combining 3 images at slightly different settings/exposures. As such there was no need to adjust for levels or contrast.
