Just a Few Tiny Paintings

Insight
2" x 2"
Acrylic on Black Canvas

The tiniest stretched canvas I have ever had the pleasure of adorning and likely the smallest I'll ever encounter till the end of my days.  This was my first time working with a pre-made canvas with a black ground, and I much enjoyed the effortless depth it gives to an image. 

Space Aquatic 
4" x 4"
Acrylic on Black Canvas

Varying pastel colors laid lightly on top of one another.  It reminds me of a distant and exotic galaxy, or of the bright and colorful mysteries that reside at the bottom of the ocean (hence the title).  Yet again, the black gives an unfathomably depth to the negative space, making the orb and all its tendrils float, dance...

Rhythm 
~3" x 6"
Acrylic on 3 Black Canvases

I like this one more every time I look at it.  At first I began painting the woman's form across the three canvases simply out of how much i love the convention, but as the image developed further, the separate pieces gave the painting a whole new life of its own.  The unaligned arrangement works with the figure's contrapposto and gives a very barely dynamic body the illusion of dance-like movement.  The silver background to me is both reminiscent of falling rain and of all the flash and glitz of dance clubs.
