About The Painting

This Dyzee painting is an abstract composition dominated by fluid, dynamic strokes and splashes of paint. The color palette is primarily monochromatic, featuring different shades of blue and black, with a significant contrast provided by a central burst of olive or moss green. The expressive lines and shapes seem to swirl around this central point of color, creating a sense of movement that draws the eye inward. The splatters and spots of paint across the canvas add to the feeling of spontaneity and action, suggesting the artist worked quickly and with a degree of improvisation.

Inspiration

Dyzee Reference Photo

I simply wanted to try my hand at abstract painting. I chose a Daisy flower to derive the subject from, since my one grandmother was named Daisy. Plus, I of course do enjoy the vibrance of flowers.

Artwork Process

Done with a watercolor paint set on cold press wood pulp watercolor paper, taped down. This took a few stages of painting a layer and waiting for dry time. So it took a few days.
