Monday Morning Art: Firebird and Equinox

For the third week in a row, this week’s art is a geometric abstract. This time it’s acrylic on canvas board, but as with the last two weeks, I conceived it digitally, then gridded it and transferred it to canvas.

So…I’m calling it a mixed media piece.

This time I took two old digital pieces, distorted them, set them against a primary-color background, and then painted them.  I needed a break from attempting realism for a while.

And I slapped a title on it that seemed like a good idea at the time, but the reasons for that escape me. I might’ve been dreaming about supherheroes in Kandor or something.

I think it came out better than it had any right to.
