This is another close up of the colors in the painting that I'm working on.  There are still more washes to add but I'm out of creative energy for now.  I guess that is why I'm blogging.

mixed media on wide edge canvas

This is 4"x8" canvas and is very textured.  So far I have only used 2 colors.  I painted layers of wash, over and over letting each layer dry before the next layer.  This is a work in progress since dry time is long and I like to think a lot about where I put the next wash and what color I should use or blend the colors to make a third color.  The bottom photo is a close up of an area of the painting.

   This is a huge, 4"x8" canvas which is also very textured.  It was inspired by the sun setting on the ocean.  I wanted the subtle feel of how the reflection fractures on the water and in the air through the molecules of moisture.


acrylic on wide edge canvas

24"x36" acrylic on wide edge canvas.  I call this painting "outer space" which is really a bit lame because I'm sure I could have come up with a better name.

Mixed media on canvas.  This is a painting that I did for Lorene.  It is a very textured painting.   It isn't really representational of Edmonton, just my feel of it and how I remember it.
