A Year of Making Art, Day 271: A Failed Experiment

January 15, 2008 Day 271

I experimented in today's drawing, creating a background of patterns changing color from yellow to green to blue. After that, I drew a bold design with a black calligraphy pen. None of this worked well together, but I continued to play with it, adding more and more until I had done all I could. Here is an example of a failed experiment:

Drawing #277 14" x 11"

After that I finished the backgrounds on two new canvases:

Canvas #31 36" x 36"

Canvas #32 36" x 36"

(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
