Blue Lagoon - Linda Benton McCloskey - Acrylic Abstract


I just returned from a "Directed Independent Study" held by Steven Aimone in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Here's one of several paintings that I will be posting. This particular painting is 48 x 36 and on stretched canvas. I decided to experiment - using no brushes - Blue Lagoon was painted with my hands and a spoon. I loved the freedom it gave me and I completely "gave up" my control.

Yowser! I just love this one Linda. I can feel the freedom just looking at it.

Sounds really fun. I would love to see this in person and see the hand and spoon strokes. Nice touch of the complementary to make it pop.

This is a fun painting. Hands and a spoon? I'm impressed. I love the movement and yes there is freedom. Very nice Linda.
