Description High Fashion has some interesting vocabulary ~ perhaps the most interesting word Runway is where those svelte
models walk down a strip of a walkway, showing off their creator's latest clothing trends. I thought of two things that perhaps
influenced me in this painting: 1) 'The Nude (or Bride) Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp and
2) The wonderful series on Netflix entitled Las Galerias Velvet or just Velvet in the USA. It's a four season
drama that takes place in 1950's Spain. Extremely well done, from any angle: Story, Art Direction, Acting, flow, etc etc.
WATERCOLOR and Prismacolor Pencils on 140' cold pressed paper β€’ 18x24" THANKS so much for FAVing and YOUR EXCELLENT COMMENTS. richard

More sensual than that by Duchamp.

The curves are sensuous but it also has the overall feeling of musclesΒ 
so I'm getting mixed messages Β

fascinating work! I struggle to articulate what it communicates but there is a real layering of biology. I am seeing wings of birds, insects and limbs all interlacing

It's always a thrill to learn what others see in these abstract practices.
THANKS so much for letting me know. And continue looking at the clouds;
They're beautiful esp this time of year!!!

Lovely on silk perhaps?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

richardcgreen In reply to ancoben [2017-08-02 15:53:22 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps, but I think silk would really, REALLY absorb watercolor, not sure what
it would do then. Maybe some kind of silk screen transfer?
Perhaps....richard

I like to think of it as several figures, although I have never posted something
so completely abstract as this....it could bear several interpretations....like clouds! NO?
THANKS Trish....
PS Those 'guys' on the left, are photographers and journalists, taking notes, etc etc (maybe)!

Apostate-Ghaast [2017-07-30 08:00:31 +0000 UTC]

Just as excellent as usual. Β The flow to this piece is remarkable; the edges pull you into the center, which in turn draw you down the flowing pathways of watercolor. Β Vague curvature and musculature intertwine, giving it a very organic feeling. Β Fantastic, Richard.

I simply love the way you manage to convey so much in your paintings, I love your imagination and the way you use colour, the 'milkiness' of the end result πŸ’•πŸ’•

Thanks. Such beautiful words. After the first session of applying paint, I remain stymied for close to a week. I almost give up on all of them. Then, an idea comes, and I begin to attack the painting with INTUITION. I cannot handle bringing a painting to some kind of closure, fruition, some more interesting than others. I'm also getting less and less afraid of pure abstraction ....and I'm glad for that. Thanks again.
