Description
This is my 1st attempt at acrylic painting in years. Was going for early 20th century German Expressionism meets late 19th century Impressionism (the very beginnings of abstract art, I guess). Tried to create tension with the bright orange and yellow background juxtaposed against the figure and hues of blue. Also the awkward posture of the figure as he is sitting. One thing I learned, use much larger canvases for now on (this was only 7 inches x 5 inches). At any rate was mainly to start painting again. Really influenced by many works of art I have seen recently.Related content

Cool again, looks like he just walked through some huge Mondrian panels and can barely stay seated... sleep deprivation comes to mind with the colours you chose...

Believe me, I know about being sleep deprived. Maybe that was an influence even. You get ideas in your head, and sometimes who knows why they come.

Thanks, yeah I wanted a posture for the figure that was not natural at all.
