Evolution

"Evolve" (acrylic on canvas, 8x8") Sep 2011

Layering of colors led to the evolution of this idea from randomly painted lines (as seen below), resulting in a flower-like composition.  Several of these were created adding variety to the color palette.  -Erico

"Simply Gray" (acrylic on canvas, 12x12") Dec 2011

This is the origin of the "Evolve" series.  I found the simplicity of these paintings to be as interesting as the fully "evolved" series they inspired.  With that in mind, I created a series of these simple paintings in blue, yellow, gray.  A friend commented that the simplicity of this design would transfer easily into an area rug.  "Exquisite" was one of the adjectives used to describe this very simple painting.  -Erico
