New paintings

It has been a busy year and I am behind, but gradually catching up.  I am working on a few commissions and that put me behind with my painting a day.

I also realized that to do the types of paintings that I do that it is next to impossible to do a painting a day. So now this blog will focus primarily on what I complete each month and what I am in the process of creating.

These are the completed paintings and a little info about a couple of other experimental projects.

#1633 100 Pendants or Charms

I made 100 charms or pendants using some oil paints and some blank metal frames.  I am experimenting with using oil paints similar to my process of painting with alcohol inks.  Instead of using different chemical compositions of alcohol inks, I am using solvents to make patterns with the oil paints.  These are small experiments. Notice the man in the top upper left.  I did not intentionally paint him there, but he just showed up. These have a resin coating on the surface that adds dimension.  All are highly reflective due to the resin so I could not get a good photo of them.



#1634 Don't Stop Now

I accidentally started pouring the resin on this prior to the inks drying. One type of alcohol ink 'chased' the resin away and pushed it over the edge of the board. I will use this technique soon on a painting that I have an idea to do. This painting is not for sale. Just wanted to show it to you. I experiment a lot and almost every day I discover something new.
