Combined Seasons


Here is another abstract painting using the dregs from old paint tubes. The main colours are pyrol orange (PO73), lapis lazuli (natural pigment), perylene green (PBk31), and yellow (PY154). I had the idea to name this painting after we experienced some wild swings in weather from frigid ice storm to plus 25 summery weather all in the matter of a few days. Rick Mercer the Canadian comic once quipped that all the seasons would morph into one combined season called Springsumwinfall or something like that. Although the warm weather was welcome it did feel a little eerie to out painting in T shirt and thin cotton pants in early April. I did several of these kinds of paintings, as it turns out there is quite a lot of paint stuck in those empty tubes.
