I decided to do something totally different than I have ever done before this week. I've obviously taken some inspiration from Jackson Pollock with the whole splatter painting technique. But I also feel really good about this painting because it's the first time I've ever painted something that was absolutely 100% done without looking at something else as a basis. I love the abstract feel of the painting and I think it looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself. I think I got pretty creative here. This ideas for this one just kind of came to me as I went along. I first put down a thick black stripe across the middle. That's all I knew I wanted at first. The light blue came down as a sharp contrast and as the lines got closer together, I liked how the white stripes looked so I left them. I looked for colors that would look good in contrast with black and blue. Red was first and it turned out well but I could tell it needed a little something more. I applied some white splatter lines and spots and I just knew I was done. This is one of my favorites for sure.
