a deflection from the usual

One Day I decided to just play on a small canvas I had just lying around in the studio.  I wanted to play with color and to see what other ways I could manipulate the texture medium.  I came up with this study.

It sat around in my studio for a few weeks while I worked on a painting for my mom.  It began to grow on me.  The more I stared at it, the more I enjoyed the energy I had created.  It was time to enlarge it.  I made the colors a brighter and more opaque.  I changed up the texture some.  I am pleased with the larger piece.  I like what I have learned in the ways of medium manipulation.

I titled the piece "Collision" because I imagine the image representing the capture of that moment in time when two forces meet. I imagine the static and the dust; the highs and lows of the sounds. A collision frozen in time.
