"It's Not There"

About This Work

"It's Not There" is a work belonging to my ongoing series of emotional abstract paintings, Nothing Felicity, in mostly hand-mixed chromatic blacks. The use of high-chroma, low-value oils creates a greater contrast when cinched in with lighter and more fluid glazes and details, although on a value scale they are not so far apart from each other. It is a kind of dreamscape meant to provoke thought, stillness, and encourage us to confront our inner selves through the observation of texture and color.
