Retro in black and colors

I know its out of focus - so sorry about that. I'm hoping this all works out in time as my eyes recover from the surgery...

This is a continuation of my current work with unstretched canvas. In total its a bit bigger than 8 x 10 probably... I haven't measured. And its on raw unprimed unstreteched canvas... Which is really interesting and I like the color.

I think I will be leaving this one be. Now all I have to do is figure out whats involved with stretching.

Zen in red and gold

This is one I've been working on and finished this morning. I added a dusting of powdered metallic pigment for the glow it needed. Its 1 ft by 2 ft on birch wood.



This is still drying and the blog will be updated for sale availability. Contact me.

Rainforest 1 ft x 2 ft on birch wood panel

I've been working on this one for a few weeks to add the definition it needed. This was a painting that needed some definition. Some high lights and low lights and some place to rest your eyes between all that green.

Its a bit easier to see how it came together in the close ups.





Painting is still drying and will be available. Contact me if you are interested.

Candy Explosion!

This is a follow up image - an attempt to better show the layers of clear color and iridescent and translucent colors in this painting.

It's better but still much prettier in person. Very girly, I'd call it. It's 1 foot by 1 foot on a birch wood panel. With Gobs of textured acrylic medium to get the layers... and lots of candy colors.

Its really a happy happy thing! In fact its so happy I painted the sides and back pink as well.
