Variations on a Voronoi Theme

[Hermes2020]

My contribution to the September 2024 Abstract Challenge was the Voronoi diagram-based magenta and phthalo green exercise in complementaries:

It is hanging in the home of a special person, who has now commissioned me to paint a series of three variations on the Voronoi theme, using other complementaries in the colour wheel. I have decided on the following colour schemes:

Red - Cyan
Orange - Blue-cyan
Yellow - Blue

Like the original magenta - green painting, each new painting will be 400 x 400mm. These are the designs I have decided on, each with my proposed colour scheme.

Red - Cyan

Orange - Blue-cyan

Yellow - Blue

I think they should form an interesting family of paintings when arranged as a group.

As usual, I will give updates on the progress, but since I am slow, it is going to take some time. Another factor is that I am working on The Dancer sculpture at the same time, but more details on that will follow in another thread. In the meantime, here is a preview of the dancer.

Oh, this is so exciting! What a wonderful project. Those paintings are going to complement each each other so beautifully and I just know they’re going to be gorgeous. Can’t wait to see them done. I am so glad that beautiful challenge piece, which is a very strong standalone piece, has lead to even more! Whoohoo!!
That Dancer is a lovely piece. I look forward to hearing more about it. I’m staying tuned.

I can’t wait to see the finished paintings, Hermes, and know you will work your magic with those color combinations. The dancer … wow! I see the organic shapes of molecules which every dancer is made of, with such a sense grace and balance.
