Emergence No 2 (Maquette)

Continuing with this new process to  give further elevation to the textile layers in the artwork with Emergence No 2 maquette.  Red is the dominant color with the sahara yellow and gold injecting themselves (as with maquette No 1). Don't work with red hues very often; not my favorite color, but I managed to get cozy with Madder Lake.

I would like to interest someone I'm commissioning a larger version of this work, someone with a pressing need to fill a void on a partially protected (from direct sunlight) atrium wall, or better still an interior  at least 14 feet high that needs an 8 foot width decorated.  The final panel Emergence  No 3 would have predominantly greens, with the appearance of the yellows and golds yet  again. the three would then stack in order red, blue, green from top to bottom.

To the right, closeups give a greater view of the textiles offset from the canvas substrate.
