Stability – 7.5″ x 11″ – Acrylic Collage

This is a little painting I completed recently that I started in the Robert Burridge Workshop I took this past summer. The painting began as a warm up exercise where we were given 2 minutes to paint the feeling of a word abstractly using just black and white.  I then completed the painting later by adding the collage papers and colour on top of the basic structure I had started in class.

The painting reminds me of a windy day like today. As the winds blow the trees need to bend and move to withstand the force, the strength and stability comes from that flexibility. Much like it does in life as well.

Hope you have happy weekend!!
