I can’t believe I’ve made it all the way to Day 22 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge; my offering is “Broadcast” (acrylic on paper, 6″x6″).

As a xerographist, my work tends to be, almost exclusively, representational. The 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge offers me an opportunity to revisit abstract painting as an alternate voice. This piece started as a technique study for a larger work. I was testing my acrylic consistency for the alcohol disbursement, but I fell in love with the colors and forgot all about the bigger work, ha. I am sort of in love with the pink, but it wasn’t intentional. I got the pink when I was too impatient to let the cadmium red layer dry completely before adding the zinc white. It is a beautiful accident.
