Homage to Piet Mondrian with Diagonal Lines. Tempera Paint on Canvasboard. 2016.

I decided to paint a homage to Piet Mondrian's Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue. I put a twist on the colors by using blue and orange, which are complementary colors, and the color brown. I used a neutral color to create an eye-catching spin. With the neutral color, it shifts the eyes everywhere on the painting. It allows a person to look all around it and not just at one specific place. The large triangle in the center of my painting was painted in red to make it stand out a little, but not too much. I decided to outline all of the lines in black to make it stand out more. I wanted to make it noticeable when one square ended and another one started.
