Thank You Gustav




 

Thank You Gustav      48x60"      thrown and splattered paint on canvas       2022


Thank you Gustav is a tribute to the artist Gustav Klimt whose work gave me the inspiration
for the color choices I used here. The technique is very different from Klimt's work. His paint 
was applied, while mine is "thrown" and splattered on using sticks and brushes. However, 
the outcome, can be similar. Klimt frequently used a dot like effect, to render his paintings, my
work has a dot like effect due to the technique. I realize Klimt is way out of my league, however
my appreciation for his work and vision, helped to lend me my own.
