After finishing Cosmic Ocean, I decided that I would make another circular painting, this time in shades of metallic coral. I was inspired by some beautiful glitter I found.
Living Coral is the Pantone Color of the Year for 2019 and I suppose I wanted to make something trendy. Besides, I have never made anything other than a mini painting in this color before.
I began with several paper towel rolls.
As I did with Cosmic Ocean, I added acrylic media to create textures. Instead of a butter knife, this time I used a fork.
I used several shades of coral, salmon, melon, and peach.
I knew I had made progress when the colors coordinated with the glitter I bought. I added it in a final layer of glazing.
Serpentine Fire
acrylic and ink on recycled cardboard and wood board
24" Ø
$500
Because of its textures, it looks different depending on the angle of the light that hits it. Here are some detail shots.
The title is borrowed from an Earth, Wind & Fire song that's on my painting playlist. Songwriters Maurice and Verdine White said that it's about creative energy.
Serpentine Fire is now for sale in my Etsy shop for $500 and I will ship it to you for free if it's going to any US state except Alaska and Hawaii. If you happen upon this post after it's been sold, don't despair. I can make a similar custom painting for you. Click here to learn more about my commissioned art process.
