"LoCkNkeY"

This is acrylic paints/mediums,gels,and glazing, and more on a 16"x20"x.75" back stapled (sides painted) canvas.
There are many extrusions on top of one very heavy bodied
"yellow Ochre/Sienna/gold fluid interference mix"( as the base coat).
I love those fluid interferences by Golden...add them to anything to change, slightly alter, or completely re-charged whatever you are getting yourself into-"color speaking...of course."
I am still looking at it...I have three more getting going.

On another note, My B-day was on NOV 11th-Yes, I share that with all our Veterans -And humbly so- as it is known as our "Veterans Day"-a day when all the men and women who gave their lives, courage, and hearts to keep us safer, is respectfully recognized on the level they deserve.
So, as I am coming out of my post b-day lull of quiet thoughts, pensive dreams, and the subtle interpretation of my latest images...I sense my next creative cycle is coming together...this time I am doing it with a bit of sketching, particularly over the last four days into this Monday.
"Textural Abstracts" needs the final few....Work to do.
Until then.

My latest discovery....

I have to share the latest blog I have discovered and just give it some serious due credit. It by an Artist for artists.
Not only is it what I would definitely call an "Authority Blog"-(my opinion is biased of course-because I am now a regular reader of this site).
That said, it is full of art related subjects-from her own art posts, to Internet marketing, as well as links to many resourceful sites (some even to her own groups) as well as to topics on sketching...and much more. Check it out.

pearl

Acrylic paint and mediums-gloss gel, paste, and glaze on canvas 9"x12"x.75"
Violet and iridescent pearl layers are transparent enough for the Celtic transfers to still be seen.
Lots of texture and the "opalescent" effect is the final stage.
Very pretty...

Shadow Secrets

I pulled out a canvas from 2006-one that already had loads of paint, one that- other than thick and interesting with texture, was just waiting for the right "new idea."
Here it is.
I did not even use Gesso-as I laid a heavy layer of white, a little black, silver, blue interference
(Golden's Fluid acrylics),
and some iridescent pearl (also Golden). Without even mixing much, I just used my wide brush loaded with the paint and laid a thick layer-Then made texture with with the deep mix, while leaving some black to paint "wet on wet" the few (now gray) lines before stopping to let it dry and take time to observe it...
Next came Crimson half thrown onto the piece-and droplets of fluid iridescent gold and coarse silver straight from the bottle...
Finished with UV protective gloss varnish. Canvas is 22"x28" .75" depth.

The Colorist: Decisiveness - Drawing the Line

The Colorist: Decisiveness - Drawing the Line

"Casey Klahn-Characteristics and Goals"

Casey Klahn, the talented pastelist and artist, is doing a series of posts that are as interesting as they are informative. He has a whole section on Matisse and Integrity-to this week on "Characteristics and Goals." Well worth reading!!
Here is a small part from today's post:
by Casey Klahn

In the post, Characteristics & Goals, we began a path of exploring some traits that it would behoove the fine artist to acquire. See the traits posts here.

The artist that I aspire to be has:

Commitment
Courage
Creative Integrity
Decisiveness
Excellence
Generosity
Knowledge
Self Understanding

Decisiveness

Matisse said something to the order of, "Make your lines decisive!" Unfortunately I have lost the attribution to this quote, but our great Modernist is known for his superb rendering of the simple, graceful and purposeful line.

Portrait of Melody

Finally!
This the third painting in my "Textural Abstract" series. It is acrylic paint and mediums on 24" x .75" x30" canvas.
Earth tones mixed with Gold-leaf and textured images painted with acrylic interference green, on layers of glazes (Golden Acrylics) with gold, burnt umber and sienna...This is a multi-layered and mixed media piece that may still be "a work in progress."
I have several more unfinished pieces, and with that, it is back to the easel!

Signs

This is the second painting in a series of "Textural Abstracts." It is on quality heavy (300 lbs) paper 15"x20." From gold-leaf, acrylic interference green and gold paint, to heavy gloss and matte gels, this is earth tones mixed with shimmers of colors and peaks of texture throughout the painting. The edges are burnt umber and sienna with a grid-"comb-like" texture-that goes around the entire piece.

peaks n' valleys...

This is the first post in several weeks for me...I have spent this time working with mediums-heavy gloss, modeling paste, matte medium, and more. It was quite a bit more of a challenge than I even knew...I have done many "pieces," but I wouldn't call them paintings-yet.
Golden Acrylics sent me some samples to try of their new "Open" acrylic line of paint, and I will have comments soon.
This piece is a very different style for me-it is on canvas 16"x20" with impasto textural effects that the monitor isn't really able to completely show.
I will keep working on all the new artwork, and hopefully they will be posted soon.

Blue Jays

Using pumice stone and molding pastes (by Golden),

I added some color while the mediums were still wet and using the other end of the paint brush-the handle side

I drew into the "mash" lines and curves until I had the birds-as good as I could since the mixture was drying fast...And then I let it dry and brought it to my blog-as something a bit different...
