Ward has also created seemingly minimal paintings out of cash register drawers, referred to at the Till paintings, surrounded by faint rectangular forms on a
background of metallic colors associated with money — gold, copper, and silver — that directly reference commerce.

In these works, called The East - West Series, the artist uses
bands of metallic color at the edges of the canvas to define interior forms, reduces his colors to a muted palette of textural greys, and employs gestural marks to move beyond the borders of his geometric shapes.
I received my Maybelline Metallics today, I was super excited to try them, even though I'm not a big
fan of metallics colors in general but that didn't stop me from opening the box to try them on.
At first they seem to hail from a time when Frank Stella's shaped paintings, with their repeating
bands of metallic color, had painters doing everything possible to avoid conventional paint on canvas and square corners.
I love
all of these metallic colors.
But silver is just one
of the metallic colors you can use.
