Peak Performance


It's been awhile my friends and family! Always difficult to take good pictures in the winter, this was taken on a flatbed scanner which looks ok. The painting is a typical doodleism style, derived from doodles done during one of our never-ending faculty meetings. They all know I doodle now but they still renewed my contract anyways. The coi pond at the bottom was an addition I made during the production of the painting not from the original doodle.

Fauvism is an art style where funny colours are used in funny places. Matisse, Gauguin, maybe Canadians like Milne and Carr used this technique. In my painting above I made all of the trees a bright red- the reason simply was to throw in some fauvism!
