"Monolith" 11" x 14" Lori LaBerge 2018
My natural inclination is toward strong colors. In this work I decided to have just the one bold area. The dark blue/gray with black half circle stands out among the pastel shades surrounding it. There is a relaxing softness to the work. The use of irregular lines rather than hard edge adds to the soft feel.

Color selection
Blues, pinks and greens seem to be my colors this week as they appeared in both painted and hooked works.
"Gallery View" 11 X 14 acrylic on canvas, Lori LaBerge 2018
I've been spending time walking downtown noticing all the building angles and alleyways. Various shapes were sketched out for use in this and future works and studies. Numerous diagonal lines approach from both the left and the right leading to the focal point of a square filled with color against a bright white. It gives me the feeling of wanting to be in the work itself with the lime green and royal blue adding a bit of excitement.
