What excites me most is that the creation of an artwork can arise out of almost any circumstance.

In this case, Lisa reached out to me and she described what she envisioned, including the fact that she wanted a tripytch (3-panel) artwork:

entry way of modern newly built home... I like the idea of a triptych in the space.  I also like if each triptych could be "floating" in a silver frame.  I like for a ribbon look that is stretched out among the three pieces with many colors to include orange and greens.

She then described her space:

Here is wall that measures 11 ft, 4 inches. The empty wall is right behind the white sofa. Colors in living room and monochromatic with pops of orange and green.

What makes this scenario dreamy is that Lisa already knew what she wanted...she just needed me to give her that "ah-ha" moment which is what I strive for.  It's a fun challenge to undertake.

After some tinkering, this is what I came up with.

Starting Creating Abstract Artwork
We underwent a few rounds of revisions.

Something was missing, though.  She wanted to infuse more color and variances, so I took it back and did just that wih a couple of more rounds of revisions.

Abstract Art Variations
The result was a more vibrant and strategic blast of color, fuller colors with less pastel variances.

Next came the sizing and proportion of the artwork on her wall.  After a few different size options, we ended up with this. 

Idea and Execution of Abstract Artwork
You can see the mockup rendering compared to real life, and I must say, I really thing it helps out with the process since there's no guessing game.

It was a winner and we both decided that a black frame would be a great choice to capitalize on the stark contrast between the frame and its surroundings and really push out the artwork from the wall visually.

And, what I live for is a client's thoughts after completion. Here's what Lisa had to say:

We LOVE it!
We have received lots of compliments about this piece:)

Here's a final close-up of the artwork showing the depth of the black frames.

Many thanks to Lisa for letting me take her on the journey of creating SUPERLATIVE.
