Blue Color Field
Available · in the studio, Phoenix
Blue as pure field — the color without incident, geometric space giving blue room to be entirely and only itself.
Blue Color Field (2021) is a meditation in simplicity — a visual deep breath inside the Geometric Splendor Collection. Painted in acrylic on a 48 x 48 inch canvas, this piece speaks in a single voice: blue. But within that voice are echoes, overtones, vibrations. What seems like a uniform expanse begins to shift the longer you stay with it.
The concept of the color field is not new. Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman defined the genre with emotional expanses of red, black, and gold. In Blue Color Field, I pay homage to that lineage while gently breaking away. My blue isn’t transcendental — it’s intimate. It doesn’t soar. It holds.
There are no edges, no narrative forms — just hue and breath. The brushwork is visible but restrained, letting texture act as quiet voice rather than statement. The blue, deep and velvety, asks nothing from the viewer. It simply offers space: to feel, to rest, to reflect.
As a piece within the Geometric Splendor Collection, Blue Color Field balances the harder lines and constructs of other works with soft presence. It reminds us that geometry doesn’t always need to be angular. Sometimes, it can be immersive — like standing in a still room painted with sky.
This painting is not about being looked at. It’s about being with.

The space it needs
- Wall
- At least 5 ft wide
- Ceiling
- 8 ft or more
- Light
- Any lighting — geometric structure holds in all conditions
- Daylight
- Cobalt and ultramarine will not shift under Arizona sun, but with almost no contrast and a smooth surface, direct light washes the field to a single flat blue. Indirect daylight keeps its depth.
Lives best in
Living room 5/5
Blue Color Field earns its 5 here because a four-by-four canvas of cobalt, ultramarine, and deep navy doesn't perform for company but simply occupies the room the way a good chair does, present and unhurried.
Bedroom 5/5
This is the room the painting was made for: the compressed blue range and mood score of 1 make it function like a window onto a still sky, and solitude is not a liability in a bedroom but the point.
