Crescent

"Crescent"
5" x 7"
Pastel on black panel
I've been wanting to try my hand at a few more non-representational paintings. I come from a graphic design background, and it probably shows more here than in, say, my landscapes.  

I cut tape and stenciled the colors on the black panel, rubbed with my fingers, and drew around the roll of tape to make the crescent. I want to do more of these, but in a more sophisticated palette.

    The colours you've used are gorgeous even if in your mind they aren't sophisticated!

    Jan, it's the most vibrant piece of art in my studio. I've never made anything that resonates like this piece does. Whatever I did is pretty darn right on! ... if I say so myself. I prepped another canvas panel, but larger, to use the same colors again. Someone will like it, right?
