Variations on a Voronoi Theme

The second variation, Orange - Blue-cyan. As in the others, there is an intentional brightening in the focal areas compared to the edges of the painting. Again, the colours on my dektop monitor are almost identical to those in the painting.

Winsor & Newton Griffin alkyd oils on a hardboard panel, 400 x 400mm.

Wow, both are just stunning!❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 They definitely feel organic and alive and I love the textures and the colours. It almost looks like you put chalk pastel for the top textures in the turquoise in the centers. What a marvellous series! I would love to see them all together.
You should be selling prints.
 
What a fun project and such stunning results! Your palettes are so beautiful, and the textures and shapes really elevate each one. The play of light and values also adds dimension.

Excellent series!

Thank you Christine. I did not use pastels for the textures; they are the result of quite a few layers of scumbling and glazing to get the effect I wanted. Glad you think the paintings are worth selling as prints.

Terri, I am happy that you enjoyed looking at the series. It was fun working on the paintings, but I think that I will stop exploring Voronoi diagrams for now and try some new ideas. I am thinking of mixing black iron oxide, used to colour cement and concrete, with fluid alkyd medium that I can pour and splatter onto the support. This should give marks that are much more spontaneous than the precisely designed backbones of the Voronoi series. I think the iron oxide will clump together to give interesting textures as well.

Now, that sounds very intriguing! Not just the potential colors, but going towards total spontaneity after this very controlled series.

You like mixing it up, dontcha? ;)
 
Yes, I like to explore new things, especially when I start feeling comfortable, or I feel like things are going too smoothly.
