Blue Mountains 12

By  Puy Soden 2024

What does the black line do for you?

What does the green ground do for you?

What does the unknown white, black-outlined shape do for you?

What does the white seen through the blue do for you?

What do the thick layers of red do for you?

What do the white spaces left around the outside of the red do for you?

What does the red do for you?

What does the blue do for you?

A painting is so much more than the sum of all the small decisions that have built it. But I invite you to find them anyway. When I repeat a motif or image, these small decisions become the work. It's all about the HOW. The image is just the hook.
