Contraire
04 May 2026
Acrylic on canvas
20 x 16 in (50.8 x 40.6 cm)
This followed Faralle and Joyride but was originally laid out alongside Joyride. You can see the related themes and feel the related mood(s). This was the most playful in terms of strokes, and I would attribute that to the sequence of the previous paintings. I also refused to attempt to overcontrol the scene. The impressionistic clouds (of sorts) were an exercise in reducing control and increasing enjoyment. I think that exercise paid off. My biggest "if" is yellow versus orange on the petals. I like them both.
A gif showing some moments along the way.
About eight days in total...there was an interrupted by work and other projects.
This is the frame currently holding Contraire. I made with very peaceful wood.
