God's Eye, in progress/3 cycles, Feb 2013

This piece that I am working on has been a really exciting exercise with a clear nod to Josef Albers. His work on color theory was a truly pivotal moment in my own art education. Color pairing and the surprise of neighboring color effects, color is always a kind of struggle for me and, I think, plenty of artists.
This painting was inspired by the gorgeous Dutch tulip fields that I recently posted about. In subsequent post I talked about that kind of glow that I see over the world - the god's eye was what immediately came to mind. I am thinking that I need to do one more abbreviated cycle. In order to open it a bit and to re-introduce one or two of those sharp color pairings, like the Napthol Red to white to Dioxazine Purple, to Perm Violet and then the bright blue of Light Blue Permanent.
