El Diablo vase a stretchy elastic sparkle band

a stretchy elastic sparkle band keeps it comfortably in place

and antique engravings of flowers and animals

For centuries

from gardens to villas to caves to the people walking in the lively Piazzetta

I wanted to achieve high drama in this painting

El Diablo vase a stretchy elastic sparkle bandAcrylic on Canvas. 40 x 60 x 1. 5in. After laying out the skeleton (loops that define the composition). I worked out the color segments of the skeleton. Inspired by maps and flying. Using Red Orange Yellow Green Blue and Purple. Passing through clouds of color. As a child I remember flying around thunderstorms in my fathers Cessna. The drips at the bottom half of all the paintings represent the rain visible from those clouds.
