Lava Lamps

Artist: William Howley, Acrylic, 39"x24", Sold

This was my first painting ever sold! This painting has a hint of Mathematics such as calculus, COS SIN with how I created the waves. The waves are random yet organized. I love the depth of this painting, the layers in which the different sized nodes create, as well as the choice of colors. The center being yellow moves around the color spectrum, from yellow green, green, green blue, blue, blue purple, purple. And the top half moves from yellow, orange, red, Magenta, and back to Purple. If you notice some of the Nodes are releasing balls of color, which are falling to the other half of the painting. Each ball is falling to the other side at the correct depth level. This gives the painting a little bit of life and movement, and means that each half is continuously fueling the other side, almost like a lava lamp does.
