CRISTATE 2 by Michael Whelan

The 11th installment in his 2018 LEFTOVERS & PALETTE GREMLINS gallery project.

Executed with leftover Raw Umber oil paint, this is a riff on a painting from some time ago called “Cristate” (included here). Both sprang from my fascination with the shapes made by Cristate cacti. I fancy trying a third that will be more along the lines of the original, which was larger and somewhat more ambitious. Perhaps the next time I have leftover paint and a surface to put it on.
