Concept Pieces

Hello hello!

I'm getting back into physical painting these days! My main experience was with oils during school, but oils are quite expensive and I'm not ready to take that plunge yet. I have a small set of acrylics I bought off a friend at the end of college.

I've had a specific idea in my head for a long time, but haven't had a chance to execute it. Originally it was just an idea for one canvas, but with Amazon Prime Day I was able to snag a set of 3 canvases, so I've expanded it into a sort of triptych.

For proof of concept, I did digital versions!

The middle one was the first one I did and the original idea, and I definitely like more of what I did with the two side ones. The thick black splotches are meant to be randomly dropped paint, to break up the evenness of the squares. I'm not sure if I still want to do that, especially if the squares are more outlines than filled in, like the triangles and the half-circles are.

I also finished a painted piece, but I haven't had a chance to take a photo of it in good lighting yet, so I'll post that later. :)

Let me know if you have any ideas for these pieces! I'm curious what others think.
