BIRCH 48"x48" Acrylic on canvas, 2009
I worked on BIRCH between other projects. It was originally set to have a colour palette with darker colours, but as things went on more and more white covered the surface. Working generally with bright colours, this piece was challenging in that it has so little colour in it and again, with acrylics the dry colour was never the same as the wet colour. Lastly, being able to see where I was painting was challenging at first so I started with a dark blue canvas so I could see where the white was going. The surface also has a rise to it so some squares actually stand out from the surface catching light when lit from one side.
