Patchwork Painting

I started this one in August 2011, shortly after we relocated to Mumbai to brighten our dinning area, and finished it in November 2011.
I wanted to make something, bright, a bit quirky, and more in tune with my fast style of painting. This is not saying this painting actually took little time, but the dynamic and the fact I split it in smaller area to work on individually made wonder for my limited patience, working on one tile at a time layer by layer is far better in my book than obsessing over a waterfall for hours. I first divided the canvas in a grid, then painted each tile a solid colour, then added a completely individual pattern to each tile, then painted a bigger brighter figure in every alternate tile often using 3D lining paint to add some depth to my painting, and lined each tile with a blue grey line, to give a tiled or patchwork effect to it.
I think this one will look stunning in a rustic or baroque natural wood frame, if I ever find something this one will probably end up being framed for a more dramatic effect.
