The Thought

The thought process here was to produce a doodleism painting! I went for a primary colour composition which means using red, green, blue, and yellow... the 'crayon' colours. I'm not sure that there is any particular message here- the design elements are all familiar to the style- the broken horizon, the flowing organic shapes and the strong use of outlines. At the left middle the painting 'opens up' revealing a blue sky and side of a building.... I have often used this element for example in the "Three ringed flying circus" series of paintings. In that series every painting had a little opening into a blue sky background.  I have a larger painting in the works now, it is mostly original design, with limited use of doodles from my notebooks.
