This abstract cityscape was started with an improvised sketch on the canvas and then I painted while flipping it over every ten minutes or so. I kept the two large windows floating in the background - one right-side up, and one upside down. Once a composition started to appear and it felt weighted in a landscape orientation, I worked on adding the layers of high-key colors. The color palette of this piece ended up being a much more saturated than my usual palette. So, that's where the name comes from.
“Color Burst Reflections”, oil on canvas, 36x48, 2024
