Two Red Squares

Here is a lovely little painting featuring two squares of delicious cadmium red. This is one of my most purely abstract compositions to date. I’ve been reading a biography of William de Kooning and was inspired by his early black and white abstract paintings to try using a limited pallet. I’m also experimenting with the quality of the brush stroke and with leaving a bit of a rough edge to the painting.

This painting is a diminutive 10″x10″. It is painted on stretched canvas and supplied with a wire for easy hanging.
