This is #4 the final of a recently completed abstract that took over a year before it felt done. The other stages are posted below. It was painted on a 16x12 inch deep cradled canvas found lying about in my studio and using professional acrylic paint. I had no plans just decided to slap paint around and work on it between projects using left over paint. You can see below that the painting started out very different in the beginning (#1 below) and very little of the original remained in the final. The first two stages were worked with brushes, the last two stages I brought out the palette knives and reworked. The palette knives gave it life as I tend to get putsy with brushes. Click on the images to enlarge. Also it started out horizontal, during the process it was turned multiple times until it ended vertical.
