Happy days - I have been finishing paintings lately! This is the part I love, when logic relaxes its grip and intuition takes over, and my brush seems to know what to do without much intervention on my part.
A piece I began in November, finished tonight:
Stained Glass
acrylic on stitched canvas
16 canvases @ 12x12" each
avec l'artiste
canvas #5
Another "raw canvas" piece finished:
Stream
mixed media on stitched canvas
2 @ 39x39" each
Second photo piece finished:
Portal
mixed media on stitched canvas
51w x 31h
And as always there are many works in progress. Here is a sampling of 3 branches of ideas I have going at the moment.
A canvas I stitched several weeks ago, with its stretcher:
It now looks like this:
I have several paintings on the go right now which I've sealed and gesso'd prior to painting with acrylic. I had been painting on raw canvas for the most part, but now I want to try again with acrylic on a gesso'd surface. So far so good...
Another canvas stitched and stretched several weeks ago:
has got to this point:
This one is painted into the raw canvas, no gesso. The middle bit will be left mostly unpainted. I like the contrast of drawing and painting - lines and colours - on the raw canvas.
And another photo piece in progress:
The composition comes together as I move pieces around and begin stitching.
Stretched and ready for the next steps in the process!
