Description
Inspired by the contest "Just a touch of blue" [link] in the groupA development of my semi-abstract impasto flowers series.
The painting is Cryla acrylics painted with a painting knife. The background is "chromatic black" which I made by mixing dark green (phthalo turquoise) with napthol crimson on the canvas. However, I then scratched back to the crimson layer underneath. Highlights and sky are an over-painting with Titanium white. And then the third "tulip" is "cobalt chromate blue red shade" mixed with a little titanium white.
It is very small, 7x5 in, on canvas board. There wasn't enough sunlight, so it is photographed under artificial light that simulates sunlight, but highly directional from one side, to bring out the texture.
It's very experimental, so please do let me know what you think!

I love it when someone describes how they worked a painting, so thanks. It is very bold, and though you say it's experimental, I think it works well. In reproduction it gives the impression of a much larger work.
