Acrylic (24 X 32) Inches
Artists Comment:
This painting was started using techniques pioneered by Jackson Pollock. I started
with a abstract like underpainting. Then like him, I fling and dribbled paint,
to create patches of overlapping color and lines until I was satisfied. Usually,
when all of this has dried, I study it, and to jot-down all the images that
I could see emerge. After studying the possibilities, I select the one that,
to me, has good pictorial dynamics and emotional appeal. In this
particular case, The painting was so beautiful that I decided to stop and not
to go any further. As the title indicates this was my feeble attempt to emulate
Pollock.

I would never claim to be able to produce artworks comparable to Pollock. I generally use his method in the preparation of the ground for further painting. However, this time the picture was so beautiful that I decided not to pursue covering it up with an image. I used acrylic Sillthane paint for this series of pictures. It has the consistency to facilitate the drip method and saturation of color that I like. Based on the limited number of Pollock paintings that I have seen, I would say that I use more color.
