Doodle Study: Mind Eye Growth


This is one of the smallest paintings I have done! The painting was just a doodle made up on the spot when I was working in the gallery in London Covenant Garden Market in Ontario. The gallery also held a competition for small paintings and I entered one (for which I do not have a photo) and although I did not win a prize, somebody did buy it.

This painting started with the background, working in layers from light in the center to dark in the background. When it dried I put down the outlines, and finally filled it in with the colours. The colour scheme is a bit of a triad; blue-green, yellow-orange, and a pink.
