Thinking about screens and music

This painting is a continuation of the studies I've been making about the ideas of teal, music, and vernacular forms like windows and screens. It was part of my final work for the advanced studio class I was taking.

Dialogue with Vermeer

Here are some images of my painting that is in dialogue with Vermeer.

I found that this painting got pretty weird . . . but in a good way. I tried to break the rigidity of the grid with the gestures that I had found in the figurative elements. An interesting exploration. The painting really took me for a ride and I had felt that kind of impulse or drive since I painted Coral Pink. I want to chase that kind of feeling when I paint.
