I decided to do more of the paintings for this month on watercolour paper instead of canvases; they are much easier to store. Unfortunately, paper doesn't seem as conducive to the style I am trying to achieve.

| #1086 - Fire and Ice - 7 x 10 acrylic on watercolour paper |
I really struggled with this piece. It has a number of layers of paint. It actually started out green (lol) but that was washed off; then dark blue which made me cringe so I added a bunch of white and pushed that around until it was blended. The final touches of red and yellow were influenced by the cold weather - I wanted something that looked warm!
It is hard to believe that we have only 9 days left in the challenge so pop over to
Leslie's Blog to see what others have been doing. Also, if you like abstract art have a look at these three artists from the challenge -
Eric Bagwell,
Sue Marrazzo and
Peter Crane.
