I continue exploring spirals.
spirals
These are acrylics. I’m getting more used to them. I’m using the spiral as a symbol of life, like DNA.
snowed in, again
This is ridiculous! You’d think we were still in Chicago! I AM getting a lot of work done, but I would love to be able to drive to town when I want to.
I’ve tried painting
my driveway, not in western perspective, but flat like African art. However I’ve put the mountain in “correctly”. To get all of the snow you’d think I’d just paint it titanium white, w/ a black ribbon for the road. There was a lot of color in the River, so I tried it. Now I have to wait for it to dry enuf to add in some white hightlights. Also, the light is very different when it’s snowing, than when the sun comes out. THAW! I’ll make the rest up! More on the Tree of Life.
killed it
I added a lot more paint to the top of the tree, with the painting upside down. So there will be drip marks flowing “up”. I also added a little space ship w/ a solar array. When this dries enuf, I will highlight some areas.
edges
I got off axis from this panel to show the edges I painted. I was going to go w/ flat black edges, but the other panels look good with the wraparound.
trying acrylics
My FC studio has a propane heater and I can’t use oils when it’s lit. I got to work there today. These are two 30″ panels. I don’t know whether the doors will warp, but I put the paint on in washes. I really like the effect. I know I will put more paint on them, but maybe I can save some of the wash areas. The color is so delicate, and the panel is not.
top heavy
I’m more excited about the spirals, I don’t know why. This is going the right way, but as I post this I notice that all the spirals at the top are the same width. Break it up!
Yeah! Sunshine!
I worked more on the river. 
tree
The tree is thrusting into space. If birds evolved from dinosaurs, what will humans evolve into? Will the trees evolve so they can grow into space?
oil paints are my favorite
I know lots of people work in acrylics, especially on a piece so large. I love the way the panels take the oil paint and the depth of colors. Many are colorists. I’m a coloroholic. I’m happy with these. I will hang them with a space between each one. Now I have to find a wall big enough to show them off. Any corporate types out there?
Gregg bought me two more panels yesterday!
