abstract Tink

24x24inches - Contemporary Series
They say the smaller ones really pack a bigger punch. Thats exactly how I feel about Tinker Bell, as well as my painting of the little pixie herself. I went with a darker tone of blue in the background so that Tink really pops off the canvas that much more. My favorite part of this painting is Tink’s headband, as it just floats on the canvas.
Just like my last few paintings, this painting has some stellar color placement throughout! I can’t emphasize enough that I am painting these pieces - every bit of them. This is not some AI, online stuff. This is twenty-five to forty layers of paint, stacked up over time, from my brain to the canvas. Not only does the subject of this piece pop off the canvas because of the stark difference in colors, but she is also physically in another dimension as the paints are lifted from the canvas after being layered over and over, just like a Jackson Pollock painting!
Below we have the process photos from the toughest painting I’ve created in my Contemporary Series … so far! Building these pieces up really does take a skill of its own and painting them is definitely its own kinda “chess match.” With this painting, I wanted to make sure I properly hit the marks - aka sprinkle it with some pixie dust in all of the right spots!
“abstract Tink” is the fourteenth piece in my Contemporary Series and it is a square, 24x24inch acrylic on canvas.
