Second Phoenixby *Will-Being-Mind

Traditional Art / Paintings / Abstract

Second Phoenix

Oil Paint on panel, ~2' x 4' with pallet knife.
(originally titled: Election Night 2012)

My state of mind while composing the initial phase of the painting was very angry. I had become fed up with life: unemployment, relationships, politics. By the end of the 3 hour painting session, I felt much more positive.

This painting is notable for me as a re-discovering of my own compositional style in a very free form technique that took much less time than in the past. It is a breakthrough painting for me. Everything will be different, better now.

This current photo has some glare from my lighting setup. I will attempt to compensate and photo again soon.

It's cool, I see that you also find the beauty in blue-red-yellow colour scheme - it's so powerfull! It's like all your angryness was burnt by the fire you painted

Hope you still feel positive!

Actually, there's no blue in this, just a little purple. I think it might be the glare off the glossy sections that seem blue in this photo. I've been applying some cold wax medium to tone that down.

or it could be my screen. What is a cold wax medium and how it works? I have never heard of it before.

New to me too, figuring it out.

The process was cathartic to say the very least. Yes, I now feel vastly more positive about not just my art, but life in general.

I appreciate your willingness to offer positive feedback on my work. That is always encouraging.

Be Well!
