A Painting

Colours! I've been working with neutrals for a while now, it was a l surprise when I incorporated some colour into my work over the winter break. This was made by taping off sections with tape and layering on different colours. It's 30x 40", acrylic on canvas.
I'm starting to appreciate geometric shapes, especially of the rectangle and square. They're so versatile and familiar. Although they're criticized for being cold and mechanical, I think it's the artists job to give these shapes personality.
I think I would be utterly content if I could just paint squares and rectangles. I've yet to get bored with looking at and creating them.
