Metal Art MADNESS!

 It’s going to be tough going back to “regular” ol’ painting… 

*NEW PAINTINGS*

 

And now for something completely different! This piece has been a long time in the making…like, 10 years or so. So many components to acquire and applications to perfect. A sheet of metal, appropriate surface patterning tools/techniques, pigments that are both highly saturated AND transparent, layers of mixed media that cooperate with each other, varnishes, adhesives, sparks, fumes, dust, fingerprints, ambient temperatures, wind… Then photographing such a hi-gloss, metallic surface, trying to capture the movement of the metal without the blinding glare! Proof that with enough determination and persistence, life is full of…

…And another! It’s not “win or lose” it’s win or LEARN…and I’ve done A LOT of learning this past while. Had this one almost finished and ended up starting over completely. BUT I made many discoveries and picked up a few new tricks along the way.
