The birth of a new painting


 




Finally I decided to go really big.... At least big for me.This painting when stretched will be 42" x 66" 
I am working with acrylics and lots of water This technique on an untreated canvas produces a batik effect that reminds me the textiles of the 60's

"Fall- Once Again"... also finds a new home

Image
Fall- Once Again is a 42" x 48" acrylic painting on canvas. This time I have used a limited colour palette and knife technique. The new owner, a very loyal collector, commissioned this piece after seeing a small version in my studio done on paper (18" x 24" ). I find it difficult to part with some paintings. I would have loved to display Fall - Once Again in my studio... if I had enough walls. I am happy knowing that it is being enjoyed and appreciated in a new home.
