Color Floats

Color Floats by Carrie Glenn

Color Floats

The original is 42×32 in acrylic and mixed media (including metallic and porcelain paint) on canvas; sealed with wax.
In this piece my attempt was to create riveting color combinations and captivating eye movement. I used a variety of mediums to achieve a wet and dry look. Select portions of the canvas appear as wet paint and dramatically contrast the airy and light spaces, which does seam to make the “color float.” This was a commissioned project designed as a focal point to tie all of my client’s glass artwork collection together perfectly. My client was thrilled with the outcome and receives many generous compliments on this bold work.
