I just googled "color paintings" and this one caught my attention. It is by Steven Pollard, Ph.D. who practices in Hawaii and apparently it is part of his therapy to have this done. In his statement it says he does therapy with others in his art. He says it helps them look at their lives differently. He lets his unconscious do the art, with no preconceived notion. As far as my own perspective, I can see the rich emotions that would be perceived through the use of the colors and the randomness yet structure to the lines that go through the painting. There is a rich variety in texture. The medium he uses is first digital painting in Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter IX then he prints the digital canvas and adds to it on a canvas with real paint. love his unique approach of incorporating graphic design AND traditional art. It gives a different idea of what traditional art can be.
