The Folk Art Of Cactus County part #6

I quite like minimal colour combinations. It started when I thought about doing a painting in black and white, which lead on to the blue and white one, and then the red, black and white one. I think I'll do more like these. This first one is simply called "Blanquinegro #1" which I think means "black and white coloured" but really it's lots of shades of grey. Yeah, whatever.


















This one is called "Está Vivo" which means "It's Alive". It's a reference to Frankenstein of course but I like the way the skull came out looking a bit like a map of Africa, the place where we all come from. Yeah, all very deep and meaningful I'm sure.





















And this is probably my favourite of the works I've done so far. It came about because I wanted to use black and white cheques in a pitcure, hence the current working title "Cheques #1". I've included the phrase "How beautiful is the world, it is a pity that I must die" again, it's a theme I'll keep returning to.
