BARN 113 COW DANCE 22X30 Watercolor, Gouache, Ink
A more fun barn painting! We learn by using what we already know as a bridge over which we pass to the unknown (wrote A. W. Tozer). I have been painting for years and I know composition: how to fill the page, repeat with variety; temperature dominance; use of pure and neutral color to emphasis and minimize. Here, however, I explore pattern: abstract circular pattern dancing across the paper- wanting freedom and uncontrolled takeover-yet needing to be limited for the sake of the whole. I think it worked.
Someone said the difference between pattern and texture is that pattern has larger piece that can be counted
