Abstract expressionist painting, bold color and patterns, fluorescent highlights, gold and silver glitter. Various mark making techniques were used, including squeegees and spatulas. I used brushes and squeegees about 50/50 when making this one, as well as dripping paint straight from the tube for some of the polka dots. I had to work on the floor and the wall. Carnival Music is named for the rhythm and repetition of stripes and dots, there's something nostalgic to the feeling of this with the bright color and brushy depth. This painting is signed, titled and dated on the back, and will ship in a sturdy protective mailing tube.
