Shattered glass black and white painting

Version 1

9x12 Acrylic on canvasboard

Shattered glass black and white painting

Version 2

9x12 Acrylic on canvasboard

This time around looked more like a comic book— I liked the lines and perspective. The next time I was going to experiment with color.

Version 3

9x12 Acrylic on canvasboard

Next I experimented with color and going for a more chaotic shatter. I wanted to find a way to communicate more feeling than just the black and white.

Version 4

9x12 Acrylic on canvasboard

Now arriving at a balance of the second version and the third. This one closely reflects the final version with the inward vortex of gravity and the radial gradient of color.
