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". :)

White Window, a wildy complex painting

This painting just kept growing. It took me in so many directions! I'm starting to combine a few of the techniques that I use when creating these acrylic paintings. The possibilities are endless. I love to make images that are so rich with color, and the interactions of color. Controlling the paint in an image like this is like trying to control the weather. Sometimes you press the issue, and sometimes you go with the flow. It's a dance.

"Early Bouquet"

Another wild one! 24x36", deep earthy reds and oranges with blue circles and a yellow bouquet.

Fine Art Reproductions

Daydreams

I've begun preparing many of paintings for reproduction.

I purchased an ink system for my Epson 1280 that will allow me to produce archival reproductions using pigmented inks. It's gonna take some gettin used to!! Parts were missing when it arrivesd, so I'm waiting for the replacement parts. Next, I'll be wrestling with color profiles in Photoshop and the printer. It's a very mysterious realm that I've gotten lost in before....wish me luck!!
