Original Painting

I'm putting this painting on sale.

I love the painting, but was never able to photograph it well enough to show it at it's best. Some paintings just need to be seen in person.

It is so rich with depth of color and movement, it's like music. Which is what it's all about.
Title: "Embryonic Journey"
Everybody loves this song, including me.
This painting just wanted to be named for that beautiful and passionate piece of music, with it's cellular shapes and outer (or inner) space feel.

Medium: Acrylic on canvas.

Dimensions: 30" high, 72" wide, ¾" deep, three 24x30" canvases.

Drawing or Painting?

This painting will be called "Plume" if it ever dries!

You might look at this image and answer, "painting for sure" and I would too.

I've been developing this new acrylic technique for a couple of years now. I use water and a few different tools to move the paint around the canvas.

When I first started doing this it was very liberating and fun and I always finished the paintings in one go-round. They were always Alla Prima paintings.

But as one might expect, an artists technique evolves. I spend a lot more time and use a lot more paint than I did when I began this adventure. And I've discovered so much about this kind of paint.

But tonight as I was working, it became a tussle between dark and light. Pushing one, then pushing the other. Suddenly I said to myself "you're drawing". Who would have thought?

It always comes back to drawing, the "essence of art". :)
