"Blatherskite (N) A person who talks at great length without making much sense. The process for this work was rather simple. Taking inspiration from my daughter who was 4 at the time and created this wonderfully abstract painting.The color of my Daughter's painting had large brushstrokes zig zagged with deep reds, light green with splashes of white and hints of blue. On top of all this chaos was two figures drawn with a charcoal pencil, which she describes as Dad and daughter. The Father didn't have a body, just a round head and a lot of hair! skinny arms and really, really long legs and great smile! The Daughter she drew had a smile and a body with arms but no legs! I have kept this painting for years and have said I will one day create a painting from this masterpiece as an inspiration. Fast forward several years and in creating this painting was simple, to combine circles, geometric patterns that harmonized with proper color blocking. My choice of color blocking was limited in the original painting and using my artistic license I found close to or add as I found fit.I wanted to use charcoal as my line tool however I found it to be difficult and instead used a brush to create the width in lines. My other thought process in the creation stages was to combine the two figures by over lapping and that enabled me to continue the circles and geometric patterns I had in mind. This also made color blocking a little easier as I could decide how I wanted the harmony between colors to behave. The inspiration painting was too saturated and I needed to add other colors that weren't there and it helped to balance out the painting as a whole."
