acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20"
This simple painting of a tropical fish was the first part of a two-part exercise at UNM. The first part was to paint anything -- an object, still life, landscape, portrait, whatever -- in a representational manner, and the second part was to paint an abstract iteration of that first painting. I will post my abstract interpretation of this one tomorrow. Spoiler alert: it looks nothing like this fish, but perhaps someone will see a connection between the two paintings. I found this exercise to be a fun way to approach abstract painting. I'm doing another now.
