Stepping Out (2021)Acrylic painting by Newel Hunter

Stepping Out is a striking abstract composition set against a deep black background, allowing the vibrant brushstrokes to command full attention. Hunter has used a dynamic interplay of colors—primarily pale yellow, light blue, and shades of red—to create a sense of movement and energy. The brushstrokes vary in thickness and direction, giving the piece a rhythmic and almost dance-like quality. The layering of the colors and the semi-translucent application in some areas evoke a sense of depth and complexity within an otherwise minimalistic design.

There is a strong sense of spontaneity and emotional expression in the technique, as the brushwork feels both deliberate and free-flowing. The black backdrop functions not only as negative space but also as a framing device that heightens the vibrancy of the colors.
