I resolved the problem of the distribution of colours across the prevailing shapes by deleting one of the shapes, which was deep blue, and adding violet to the blackness that makes up the negative space in the top section of the painting. However, as I kept the outline that looks like a mountain range I’m still dissatisfied – as someone who knows what he’s talking about remarked: color field landscape.
And that is the problem with adding a figurative evocation or shape to colour fields, unless you draw a line through them, which creates its own problems. If you do so, as one well followed artist does then you’re negating the representation and raising the question “why?”. Not what I want to do. So, I’ve decided there are lots of other ways I can use the the reversible outlines of my “mountain”.
I think these two paintings, which I’ve posted before, are a good example.
