Description

Embrace The Unlikeliness In Green and Violet by Bruce Granquist. Original Abstract Artwork.

A calligraphic line is much more expressive than a drawn one. This painting shows the variety of calligraphic lines from large blue-green at the top that expands outwards to create a field for the other lines to lie on. To a ‘wispy dry line’ at the bottom that supports the action above.~ Bruce Granquist
