Rhapsody Indigo

This piece has heavy texture in places. This texture comes from building up heavy layers of paint, which provides a rich history for the piece, not all of which is always visible. The piece is finished with a coat of gloss varnish, which helps protect the painting over time. The painting has a gloss finish. This piece is mounted on wood panel. It comes wired for hanging. A certificate of authenticity is adhered to the back of the piece using archival-quality adhesive.

In this piece I explore using small pieces of colored paper that are cut into random triangle and quadrangle shapes. There are no right angles in these shapes, which means they can connect together in an almost organic way. I selected paper colors that provided maximum contrast and color punch with the deep purples and blues in the background.
