4 Paintings Part 3: "Balance"

This was another painting with repeated imagery. In this one I really wanted to emphasize the negative spaces, and also really play with the push and pull of the darks and lights. I also chose to break up the lines here and there with a thin line or subtle smudge.
I was also very pleased with the shading of the figure and objects--and how they flatten out with the outlining.
This one is very interesting hanging different directions.
I would like to make four color prints and arrange them together on the wall in all four directions.

First, the way I painted it:



Sideways: Interestingly,sideways has a lot of implied movement.


Sideways this direction becomes almost totally abstracted:


Upside down: I think I like upside down as much as I like right right side up. Especially intriguing this direction.
