Description


Upload: 029 Square Title: Symphony No. 2, The Nocturne Suite Series: Symphony Location: Studio Date: August 18, 2007 Image: N07030M1c Medium: Oil on canvas with Polymer emulsion for texture Size: 36 x 36 inches (91.44 x 91.44 cm) Technical notes: This is the second painting in which I have used a polymer emulsion, but the first one I painted. The painting underwent numerous stages of colour, from two types of blue and one black, in the final stage, all three colours were permitted to be blended through the use of Liquin Original, giving the brush work and the colour no sharp or distinctive edging. Commentary: This series is being uploaded in reverse so that it would be in the right viewing order when seen in the gallery. Sorry for the inconvenience. At one point I thought the painting was finished and after debating with myself I undid the multiple layers of different blue, three different shared of black and one Paynes Grey. I needed to achieve the look of a painting that appeared to be just one colour, black. Yet upon closer examination, the viewer would discover a number of different hues of blue, including various blacks. Nothing seemed to come together, even after painting a complete layer in black, then adding blue here and there. It did not homogenize into a harmonious orchestration until I decided to mix the black paint one to one with Liquin and covering the entire canvas. Then do the same with the two shades of blue, adding them while all the layers were still wet. This was followed with careful, sporadic, though decisive brush strokes of black, allowing the blue to balance and shine through. Now I achieved what was envisioned. Though the painting appears being totally black, there is significant amount of life to it. As the light keeps changing in the room, so does the light the painting captures with its textures, as Liquin leaves a glossy reflective surface behind. It is when the light is the strongest, only then does the painting reveal and surrenders the blue, like a flower that closes and opens with the sun.

Personally I don't think any photo would do your painting justice. I love your wife's comment - it seems to echo in my head and makes me laugh!
