Description

The first time I saw this kind of line (seen in the background here) was on a pad of paper near an old-fashion land-line telephone. Remember, the ones where you had to sit or stand still to use? Apparently someone had a long phone conversation and was doodling for a while. I loved the design! This was twenty years ago and I’ve finally incorporated it into an art piece!

The background is a single wandering oil pastel line that changes color as it goes along. I took diluted acrylic paint and wiped it over the line to create the wash of blue and purple, then added the final textured layers.

Depending on the way you hold the picture, you can imagine different figures. This way shown makes me see a red butterfly. Rotated to the left, the picture seems to show a man dancing, so I was going to call this, “Fire Dance,” but decided to leave it abstract and up to the viewer’s imagination.
