"PAINTED ILLUMINATION" BY SUE MARRAZZO
DAY #24: 30 PAINTINGS IN 30 DAYS
For this mixed media painting, I was INSPIRED by a Jackson Pollock 1950's painting on the cover of a MOMA Art Book. At 1st I was attracted to the color palette in this work. Then I opened the book to the history of his work, and quotes by the artist. I was then also INSPIRED by Jackson Pollock's freedom, loose style, and experimental nature. He was a bold painter, and not afraid of making changes to his work.
Here is my 24th painting...

In this photo the paint is still wet. I wanted to share this as soon as I was finished painting this mixed media painting. The INSPIRATION for this painting came from 2 sources, again.

The photos in this article were warm and glowing..I loved them! So, here is #12 for the painting challenge that I am doing for this month....
