My next piece will consist of six 50 X 50 cm canvases and will be part of my collection. I am now going to focus on building up my collection rather than complete comissioned pieces or sell. My goal in the next couple of years is to be able to showcase my work at galleries and, in order to achieve that, I need to build out my collection.
I decided on six canvases because I still like the idea of combining multiple canvases into one big piece. I’m excited to see what this piece is going to look like as my development throughout my work keeps getting better and better (in my opinion).

Finally after a long year of preparing for the art show, I was able to complete a new piece, and a commissioned one at that. It feels good to work on a new painting. As requested, the client told me she favored the color lime green which I used it throughout the painting. In fact, the only parts that have black lining are the lime green shapes to help the color come out more. Usually, I tend to use as many colors as possible but this time I decided to chose five other colors that I think work best with lime green. The client is interested in flowers and nature so I decided to incorporate the shapes to resemble it in an abstract way.
When working on the painting I had originally positioned it in landscape but after presenting to the client she decided the horizontal way worked better for her. That is a feature of my concept, viewers can turn it around and recognize new patterns.
