when completed isn't finished

Here are what were to be the final three paintings in my Mountains Abstracted series. They are all painted with acrylic on 12 inch square canvases using the same limited palette of yellow ochre, teal, purple, and white.

The square format introduced new compositional challenges, but it is one I often return to for its simplicity. And I believe that with this series the square enhances the abstract quality of the composition.

And yes, I did believe that with the completion of these three paintings (making a total of twelve in the series) that I would have exhausted my interest and would be ready for something else, a new subject to paint. Except that I wasn't. It seems that there are more questions for me to answer with this theme and more paintings to make.
