~12 x 24″, acrylic and pierced paper on wood panel
A few months back I created a pierced paper piece based on a story I heard regarding the relationship between the moon’s cycle and eggs hatching. I liked the piece, but the paper was a dull, brownish-grey and it always seemed a bit drab. I decided I’d add some acrylic paint and turn it into something I was more excited about. This not-at-all drab piece is the result. I haven’t determined if I am going to keep the central pierced paper as-is or add a bit of blue, but overall I’m happy with it.

Oh my, this is REALLY nice! As a first impression, I thought of the obelisk in 2001, but this time it was floating on the ocean with the unexplainably green sky. OK, my description works less than 0.01% as well as your creation, but it adds up to, “OH … MY … THAT … ROCKS!”
Very nice and perfect pallette.
You are too kind! Thanks, David!
Much appreciated! The color strays from my norm, but I enjoy it too.
you bet Micah. I have soo many failed attempts at breaking from my ‘comfort palette’. They all hurt my eyes.
Ha ha! I’ve had some sore eyes with some of my past attempts as well. Always worth a try though.
Do you have a good place to store that? I know a guy….
I’ve got to store it at a coffee shop here in about a month. After that though, that guy might need to store it for me.
