I was pleased with the critiques of last week.  The one question that came to surface was, "What did I want my viewer to take away from this?"  I said I would be pleased if they thought of it as just an aesthetic experience, but that was viewed as cutting it short.  It was viewed as not enough and I should somehow bring a deeper meaning to my work.  It is food for thought.

I like the way this is developing.

The final painting is complete.

I was very pleased with the results of the critique of last week.  There was a lot of positive feedback and the comments were encouraging.

This week's work is influenced directly by Victor Vasarely.  It is his use of squares and patterns that caught my interest.  Last week's critique of my work was encouraging.  There was a greater response to the size and interpretation of the painting which was influenced by fabric.  This week's painting is a size between the original panels used earlier in my work and last week's large size.  I tried to enlarge the size but make it manageable for me.  

Both of these paintings are by Victor Vasarely and as you can see are influential in the use of squares and color.
