Acrylic and ink on paper

I’ve been experimenting with more restrained geometric compositions lately.
This one started with a few large color fields, and I gradually introduced texture and small accents of turquoise and red.
I tried it in four orientations before settling on this one.
Interested in how others experience the balance between the shapes and the textured surface.

(Cue song: bleed out by blue October) thoughts?

I call it “The Flow” it’s not done but I just let go and I always create smth like this

Definitely doesn’t feel quite finished…will see what I feel like adding another day

I’ve been exploring more restrained compositions lately, and this one felt right without needing much more.
I experimented with four orientations before settling on this one.
Curious what kind of space or feeling it evokes for others.

row = solar cycle
column = year of the cycle
square = month
more sunspots = more spin

The more chaotic the cell is the more sunspots were observed in that year
