In the Vortex (color study)

In the Vortex, 2008, acrylic on board, 16" x 12".

Above is the color study for a painted version of the Vortex image from the Timeless series (below & link). It was painted under bad lighting conditions (gloomy outside, electric lights casting shadows inside), so it's surprising that it came out reasonably well. I was originally intending to do a more detailed treatment, but it became apparent that the painting would have to be on a larger scale. Stay tuned, as they say...
