I am building a new home this year and working on the aesthetics. I will find an excellent painting company to help me with my colors.

Hope the construction goes well Dawn. And that you can find a piece of art that fits your home and your style.

I am building a new home this year and starting to plan the decorating. I will find a good abstract acrylic painting for sale in my area.

What you want them to focus on is not the “main” thing in the picture. Easiest shown when you leave a background one color and only paint a small portion of your canvas. The main thing is the background as it takes up the most room. But you want them to focus on that little bit of color you put on the canvas.

Concept of using ‘negative space’ must come from part of brain where math, numbers & linear thinking resides (& all things electronic, computer-y), cuz’ I ‘draw a blank’ — that part of my brain is my “dead zone”. But will keep at it. You explain it so well!
I know it should make sense to me. Is it super important to know to do this art?

Hmm, that is a hard one to answer without being able to see the painting. Can you send an image to the contact us form on my website (in top menu)?

I have a large canvas that I did a pour on both sides leaving the middle blank, now I’m not sure what to do in the middle to make it all go together. My color’s I used are the turquoise, greens and white also silver metallic. What colors would you use in the middle?
Thank you Linda
