Homage to Rothko


And now for something completely different. I decided to make a Photoshop "painting" using the textures and color blocks of modernist artist Mark Rothko. My choice of composition is not at all similar to Rothko's horizontal blocks but I do get to work with textured edges and rectangular shapes. Digital manipulation gives a look of liquid paint. The colors aren't as nice as Rothko's, though. If you have the kind of mind that sees patterns of shapes, and colors, this composition could be a face, but I didn't intend to put it there.
