Foundational Integer

Caribbean Duet

Foundational Integer  is an 10x8 mixed media on board.  It evolved by starting with a layer of texture using ink.  The next layer was a few pieces of newspaper collage, and then numbers were stenciled in the upper right.  From there, I applied many thin layers of acrylic paint, watercolor crayons and Pearl-Ex powders.  The painting was then varnished with a thick glossy layer and framed in a wide matte black frame.

Burnished Groove

Still Waters

It’s finished! The 48x60 commissioned painting that I have been working on, that is.  Working on this painting has been an incredible experience.  I loved every minute of it, even the part where it is 60 inches tall and so am I.  This meant that I spent quite a bit of my painting time sitting on the floor or kneeling  After starting with a couple of layers of heavy texture using gesso, paper  and modeling paste, I began many, many layers of paint and mediums in various shades of blue, green and yellow.There is also a little espresso and bronze.

The goal was a peaceful, abstracted landscape to include specific colors requested by my client.  I am very pleased with the finished work and she is pleased with the photograph.  The painting will be delivered soon.
