Detour purpl3 Alone at the sea's edge

Alone at the sea's edge stands the heroic cypress

Sphere Two marks a new direction in my work with a switch to the mediums of oil paint and cold wax

Even the kids seemed alien as they clustered into cliques by some unknown method

Ornamental Grass Two is an original cyanotype on archival watercolor paper

A butane torch is used to get chemicals to rise to the surface and create cells of color to bubble up

Detour purpl3 Alone at the sea's edgeAcrylic paint on Graphix film 4 x 4 image (8 x 8 matted and framed behind glass) I love the dynamic movement in this painting as the fast traveling cells must detour around a wall of large bubbles. Detour is a small, framed acrylic poured painting. I begin by selecting my paints, taking into account the opacity, density, and color mixing properties of each color. I add floetrol (an additive that improves the flow and leveling of paint) and silicone.
