Stripe Paintings, 2017-2018

In the summer of 2017, I began a new series of oil paintings on unprimed plywood. These works build on an earlier, unsuccessful set of striped or hatched oil paintings on masonite that I did in 2016. Optical mixing between the paint and plywood, and simultaneous contrast between the paint and plywood made color choice challenging. I continued the series in 2018, expanding the material palette of the panels to include masonite and aluminum. In all, the series numbers more than 75 paintings.
