This is a painting by Kristin Baker, thought I'd share it with the world. I love her colour palette for this and her unusual marks. Almost like a landscape in another dimension. I like the thought of this image striking a chord with ones sensory memory, unlocking a layer.

colour dynamics

Silence for some time. Im not much of a talker so this business is still some what foreign to me.
          So, the paintings have been flowing and I will be flooding the blogg with my findings.
         This painting is an attempt to control the visual dynamics caused by the colours. One obstacle is that I want the figure to be constructed through colour relationships though simultaneously be seen as a whole entity/presence. My solution was to keep the space around the figure in one colour then forcing the figure to hold together.
         This is something I saw in a painting by Matisse called the 'red room'. In this painting Matisse held his drawings-the objects described, in a space glued together by the red ground. Unity was obtained.
