El Diablo vase For centuries

For centuries

and antique engravings of flowers and animals

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 For centuriesAcrylic 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.
