I’ve been painting! Here are a few process photos showing you what went into the making of a recently finished large oil painting. First I stretch and prime my own canvases. This was actually back in April, you can see I’m wearing a sweater and scarf.
In the case of this painting I worked many layers in acrylic to build up some texture.
Here is the acrylic under painting.
More layers of thinned oil paint were added until it was finished.
Perfect Storm, 36 x 60 inches
These 24 x 24 inch paintings I finished pretty quickly in acrylic. I can’t explain why these came to fruition easier than some others.
I call them Sea Spray 1, 2 and 3. I might need better titles eventually, too hard to remember which is which.
I’ve also been working on small acrylic on Plexiglas paintings shown here finished and installed at The Centre for Vibrant Living in Kennett Square, PA. Some of my work is there through July 29th.
They are actually 2 pieces of Plexiglas framed at the top and bottom with space left between the layers.
The one below is included in the upcoming 2013 Members’ Juried Group Exhibition at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts in Wilmington, DE
Here’s a new one in process.
