The Grotto

30”x40” acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas 2019

Details: Cool, calm Payne’s gray establishes the base for this painting. Soft pink, gentle aqua, and white are layered on top, giving form to the composition. The paints are applied in varying transparencies and thicknesses, allowing for textural richness added by both scratch and wipe-away techniques. Palette knives were used to add heavy patches and marks, and thin, energetic lines were made using pen tips. Several areas of the painting present translucent layers that peek into deeper places, and bright and vibrant green grants a sense of new life and growth.
