Quirk-a-holic

From time to time the palette needs a little cleaning and I do these abstract paintings on watercolour paper, its an acid free pulp-paper product from Deserres the local art supply chain. Originally the paper was for the Montreal Metro series, but I went with 100% rag paper for that series and did all the paintings on location. The paintings are quirky and after doing a lot of work last week, the title came out to be quirk-a-holic instead of work-a-holic, which are both better than being an alcoholic! To do the painting I outlined the pieces in various colours then filled them in like a paint-by numbers. Leaving space in between gives it a tetris or jigsaw puzzle feel.
