Experimental Painting

Hello everyone,

It has been quite awhile since I last posted so I will catch you up.  There has been much to do as far as catching up with everyday life, but really, the main reason I haven't been in the studio is that I wasn't wanting to face the canvas.  So I came to accept the idea that I was very much product oriented which isn't all bad but for me, it isn't good.  Each day I felt like a failure if I didn't have something that I could say was sale worthy or had artistic merit.  I suppose I had a lot of left over thoughts from art school and from working in the graphic fields.  I had stopped playing and experimenting.

So I came across mixed media and intuitive painting and decided to combine some them in a way.  My fingers are now some of my brushes and I am stamping and stenciling and adding other mediums.  It is hard to get the need to produce a product out of mind but I am trying.  At least, I'm having fun.  As always, thanks for looking.

Purple Expression

The impetus for this painting came from a magazine photo that I transformed by my imagination and my need to produce a vivid, expressive interpretation all my own.

Vivid Roses

This floral was painted a few days ago but I waited before posting it as I wanted my art buddies to see it first. I have been painting but right now I am working on two larger pieces that have me stumped.  I got some good feed back when I met with my friends so I will continue on with them.  So we shall see.

As with all my acrylic paintings it is finished with a semi-gloss acrylic varnish for additional protection.
