Intersection: Blue


This is my second completed painted this summer, which goes to show how productive the summer has been.

This painting is the second one of its composition, which is a representation of a visual I experienced in the beginning of April. It is a representation of one of the most sacred moments in time a space: an intersection beings, moments, things, or whathaveyous.
Personally, it is the intersection of infinity, which is all things, so it could be anything.
Blue and purple are the two most basic colors with the greatest amount of spiritual energy and white is a color of purity and, in this case, silence and ultimate peace.
Although you might think that such perfection should require a perfectly symmetrical composition (and, as you can see, this is no were near symmetrical and balanced) I felt it would lose its sense of humanity otherwise and it is a human made object.
This is just the second of what may become a series of paintings of this composition with various colors and maybe a perfectly symmetrical, measured composition.
It is always a process.
Oh, and as far as process and medium: oil applied with flat palette knife on canvas board
