Three Oil Paintings

Not PB

I received the inspiration for this painting from a painting I saw in a book, although I don’t remember the name of the piece or the artist. I wanted to do something simple and geometric, as many of my previous works had been the opposite.

Omma

The original idea for this painting was to have a simple, "three-way explosion" of cool colors on a background of red fading into yellow. The color explosion evolved into something a little more intricate while painting.

Sangdoongi

This painting was also inspired by a work I saw in a book. Midway through this painting, I was struck with the idea to do something I had never tried before; I scraped the top layer of paint off using a putty knife.¹
