Turquoise, White, and Black Abstract Knife Painting for M.M

Here are some of the work-in-progress photos of turquoise, white, and black abstract knife painting for M.M.

Here is a view of the 24"x48"x1.5" stretched canvas painting as a whole:

The black is done in a gradient that ranges from dark at the very top to a more translucent black below.


This is the most accurate photo I could get. Colors change quite a bit with varying lighting on this piece. (In the evening, more black shows, as above. In the daylight, more turquoise shows.)

But the painting actually has a a transition area of deeper, medium turquoise colors just below the black area.  In the photo, that area looks like a very dark gray, but it really is a more vibrant, turquoise color. This medium turquoise closely matches the colored glass accessory from your room photos.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist with photos--these show what the painting basically looks like. I just wanted you to know there are more subtle transitions from color to color within the painting that did not all show on the photo and that the medium tones are more vibrant.

Here are some close-up photos:

Knife stokes add texture and blend different colors.


Here is what the sides look like:



This image has the closest match to the light turquoise color.
