Color Swatch Study - Original 12 x12 Painting

I didn’t write what is below, but Ai sure makes my painting sound impressive!

A study in color and texture, this intimate 10x10 inch original painting transforms a simple color swatch into a tactile work of art. Each vibrant hue is framed by thick, sculptural borders of white-slightly tinted acrylic paint that catch and reflect light throughout the day, creating subtle shifts in tone and shadow.

The raised, impasto-style edges give this piece an architectural quality—part painting, part relief sculpture. At 1.5 inches deep, the canvas becomes a dimensional object that commands presence on the wall. Looking at the sides you'll discover traces of the artist's process: spontaneous drips of paint running down the sides where brush met canvas, color wiped and released to flow freely. These organic streaks add movement and energy, a reminder of the hand and gesture behind each stroke.

Run your fingers across the surface (you should really never do this) and feel the ridges and valleys where pigment meets canvas, where color is contained and celebrated within its own dimensional frame. The drips tell a story of creation—unplanned, authentic, alive.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate the intersection of color theory and material exploration, this piece brings gallery-worthy sophistication to any space while remaining approachable in scale.
