In the THICK of it

Acrylic on 24"x .75"x 24" back-stapled canvas. COA from Ebsq.
This painting was started last Thursday, in the midst of emotions that forced me to stop, put down the paintbrush, and write instead. If only I had just kept those "words" to myself...little did I know, that the painting, was finished...
HENCE, the title,
apropos.

Finished with two coats of a UV protective gloss varnish. Authenticated 100% original by Ebsq.Documention provided with purchase.

"The Angel's Kiss II"


This took the longest of all the recent paintings i have just uploaded...It actually was another painting I had done, and just disliked-and yes, it is even on my blog, and not long before these; It had rustic and lots of orange, and it's name was....have you guessed it yet? So, I painted two coats of Gesso and re-worked it, and I still don't quite, well, I am my rarely satisisfied.
however, color and tone wise, I am enjoying working greens and blues, and then copper and gold iridescent mixed in. Also , I have been experimenting with the glazing medium, which mixes which everything, if you use a clear, or "pearl" color.
This piece is on gallery wrapped, back-stapled, 30"x30" with 7/8" depth and doulbe wood reinforcements on the back of the canvas frame.
It is finished with a UV orotective gloss varnish. The COA (cerificate of athenticity) is from EBSQ. All purchases of my paintings come with this document. Purchasing info:

A Remedy for Injury

Another one of the several paintings I have produced this past week-it's title was going through my mind with each brush stroke, every line, and semi-circle. Finally, standing back from it late last night, I was melancholy yet grateful at the same time. No quick fix can take away what life's curves that cause pain will do, but in that uncertainty of a world that can seem at times cruel and without purpose, I have the only reprieve I have every known, creativity. It is, for me, the only thing that is certain.
Acrylic on canvas 30"x30" 7/8" depth. Gallery wrapped, back-stapled, sides painted, and ready to hang "as is." Finished with two coats of UV protective gloss varnish. This painting holds many emotions and was made with intense purpose. It is a reflection (one can only hope) of movement, change, the silence, the HOWL, and somewhere, within the tones and curves, is me.
