Emergence No 1 (Maquette)

Painting Rift gave me more ideas about my textile treatments, and I am exploring them now as maquette for a sequel called Emergence. Enhancing the dimensional impact is a new preoccupation in combination with the extrusion appearance. My objective is to exemplify an organic characteristic in the art. Emergence No. 1 is still a work in progress; the palette needs adjusting, and some color applications need a selective, spot diminish. Overall I am pleased with the effect, but it does need some refinement.

Details to the right, closeups detailing the "floating" quality which is central to this new direction. Bottom, the canvas entirely. Will update this post with the finished work later this week.
