New Painting
When in college I was experimenting with various types of watermedia on paper and bought a large roll of WC paper, 51 inches by 10 yards. So finally I've challenged myself to use this paper. This piece is about 36 X 42 inches, fluid acrylic, with thin layers and washes.
For several years I have been approaching painting with the idea of following where the paint or universe or accident leads me. I like the icy greens and the soft contrast of the reds. Working large and loose is a challenge. I have had trouble finding a large, rigid, lightweight board for mounting while working. For some reason, I thought Rigid Foamcore came in 40 X 60 inch size. I am using a lot more paint and larger brushes. Keeping it wet for a long period is difficult. While I am working in one area something unexpected & undesirable happens in another area. I think I have finally solved most of the problems and am happy with the final product. I have 3 more large pieces in progress. Challenging and fulfilling.
