A Week with Circles

During the past week I completed 6 small circle paintings. I wanted these to serve as a continuation of the themes and images that developed during the sketchbook challenge. As I began this series, my focus was on the concepts of wholeness and unity represented by the circular form.

I split the sheet into six segments for six individual paintings to be completed one a day. The color palette was to stay pretty much the same throughout. Although it was unplanned, their proximity to one another had an influence on the adjacent pieces.

I want to continue this exploration on paper before shifting to canvas.
