SOLD
Untitled
18" x 24"
Mixed media on stretched canvas

We were trying to name this piece. Sometimes that's hard. This time, it was. And so, "Untitled" is what it got. Lazy? Perhaps, but I wanted to post this for the past few days and because of one reason or another, I hadn't been able to, until today.

Related the some of the earlier pieces, I added the screening for that added texture. This time around, I went with the fiberglass screen, it's softer and easier to work with.

It's been a while since I posted here. It's not for lack of effort, I assure you. I've been painting. "Wow, you sound so defensive." No, I'm NOT! Really, I have been painting!!!

This piece is suspiciously like the earlier diptych. It's a theme I liked, and it's received nice comments, so I want to explore it further. I've incorporated some aluminum screening and I happened upon a technique to add more texture, by putting thick paint with added gel medium on the canvas laying, the screen on it, then pulling it off leaving small peaks.  You can click on the photo for a larger, more detailed photo.

Untitled
20" (round)
Mixed media on wood
SOLD

My second piece in this style, and I feel like I've got a better handle on this one. It's a bit larger than the other piece. Again, I've added some screen I had lying around the studio, for a bit of added texture and depth. I really like the effect it has on the work; not entirely subliminal, yet it's also not in your face. I really like the color scheme on this piece. "Color scheme"? Yikes, that sounds so... underhanded, so covert. How about palette? Yes, let's go with that one. Besides the more prominent green gold in the piece, there is also smattering of light blue that I feel goes nicely with the green. I will further explore this color combination in the future with more conventional shapes. I will bring the blue more to the fore in those pieces.

"Cyndee & Marlon"

It's tough to make out on the smaller photo (if you click the photo, it will bring up a larger one), but I used some screen on this piece for added texture.
