Acrylic on canvas
30″ x 30″
Just an experiment in random mark-making.
The first of a series of abstracts I did based on the previous collaboration with Kristyn Watterworth! (see below)
Back in 2013, Kristyn Watterworth (@kryart on Instagram! Seriously, you should go follow her, she has amazing work) and I were in a painting fundraiser called “Clash of the Canvases”. The event benefited the Macintosh Gallery at the Western University.
We were one of the three teams given a theme (Equinox), and given eighty minutes to paint. There was a live audience.
It was like a sporting event, a completely different experience than what I was used to. At the end of the night, the audience declared our painting the winner. It was an incredible night. And it inspired the next string of abstract paintings.
