8″x10″ Watercolor. two colors on canvas. I found a couple of small canvases, covered the dollar store ‘art’ with gesso, and wanted to see how watercolor would work on them. Not very absorbent, but the pooling makes for some interesting effects. I added some fingerprints.

I also replaced #469 below, with a photo with better resolution. Having a hard time getting a good image. Now the white paper is blue… but if I increase the light, it washes out the fine pen work. Need a better camera.

12″x 9″ Ink & watercolor on Borden & Riley #234 Paper. I’ve been thinking I’d like to do something like this–on larger sheets of paper, maybe 40″x 36,” fine pen, with some bolder brush work as well, adjusting to the size. But a lot of fine detail… lend itself to both close and more distant viewing. Would want to mount the paper on some heavy stock, or wood. Do a series of “large doodles.”

 

After Words… #461

This was one of those paintings where each attempt to solve a problem makes it worse. After working at for 5 days, I gave up and covered it with gesso. You can see hints of color showing through from the painting underneath. Dissatisfied with paintings that are stuffed to the edge and into the corners, I took a pallet knife and laid on black paint around all four sides– … then this happened.
#461 After Words
One of those pieces that seem to push me forward. I cut my losses and moved on. I’ve been adding numbers, letters, and sometimes words in my work. I’ve done this at times from the beginning, but it’s been more evident recently. Others don’t seem to take to these, but they matter to me. They draw me on… on what? I don’t know. A canvas, a wall, a scrap of paper… if I should find out, I’m not telling.
