OBVERSE PAINTINGS

X-REFERENCE
24" x 36"

This was the most surprising, to me, of my concentric circle paintings.  I had thought I would do a completely "organized," predictable composition--and just concentrate on choosing the color associations.  When I finished, I was surprised at how "unbalanced" my composition, created on a distinct grid, turned out!  This painting always engages the viewer, with its undulations, both compositionally and "dimensionally"--the  circles move side to side because of the different weight of each element, despite their grid-centric anchors; and they move in and out, too, as a result of the light/dark values of the circle components.
