CRAZY & Finished!

These are the elements that I started with to create "Crazy" the latest painting. I named it that because there are crazy amounts of color, patterns, & dots. I started with 2 different patterns of fun paper, the color scheme from Sophia's sucker wrapper & a dinner plate. I had the painting penciled in & then went for a run (always where I think the best) & thought of painting the colors in circles. I used the dinner plate to trace the circles. & this is the finished piece. The purple is a metallic which created the glare.... but you get the idea :)

I LOVE finishing paintings, almost as much as I like to start them :) but somewhere in the middle they haunt me with doubt. So this is D-O-N-E & I am very pleased with it's crazyness. I would say that it resembles my thought process more then anything else I've ever put on paper. There is alot going on at the same time, going in circles.... the finished size is 14x17 & it is COVERED in dots. This one is different then others in the past that I usually start with a black under painting & add color on top. This has the color under painting & the same color added again on top in dots with a lighter shade filling the background to make the circles. 

Here is a close-up, but it still doesn't show how many dots... Crazy amounts of dots!
