Balloon

February 2013

Acrylic painting of a red hot air balloon over an orange sky and blue ocean. Uses vibrant colors and thick, rough outlines.

The shape of the balloon was inspired by listening to a lot of Jason Webley. The forward lean and trailing rope give a strong sense of motion. The bright colors and high contrast give this painting an intensity that I still love after all of these years.
