I try to make every painting interesting to my eye at every stage of the process. Here’s an example of visualizing the negative space and filling in the areas that surround it. Simple but effective.

Here’s something I’ve learned from my art making practice. Have faith in your process. From my perspective, a paintings’ most important value is not the finished painting itself, but the ideas that work generates. When everything falls into place perfectly, one painting leads to the next painting.

I’ve long adhered to the belief that warm colors adjacent to cool colors make for a dynamic, expressive color composition. And, I won’t deny that the tension created by warm - cool contrast is something I appreciate in a painting. Something essential even.
Having said that, here’s an example of a painting in almost exclusively cool colors that I find pretty close to perfect! No red, orange or yellow required.
