Openings

Openings, 8"x11', 2009

I have mentioned before how I like the idea of multiple layers in my paintings. There are at least 3 layers in this painting. What I find interesting , is that the bluish circles, which could be perceived as holes, really don't reveal that much (the painting could be called Openings?). There is a whole lot more going on with the multi-colored central form, which looks human-like to me (my son thinks it looks like a dinosaur!). The circles only become transparent when they are on top of the central form. I have more thinking to do about this image!
