This painting began as an exploration of complementary color relationships. I was interested in what happens when saturated turquoise meets coral and orange, and how each color changes in the presence of its opposite.
I played with opaque and transparent passages of paint, allowing some shapes to sit forward while others seem to dissolve into the background. I intentionally flattened the depth of field, bringing the objects and surrounding shapes into a more graphic, almost abstract arrangement.
The dahlia, grapefruit and ice became a way to explore color, transparency, texture and space. The subject is there, but the real interest for me is what happens between the colors.
