Here is a 30 x 30" painting I just finished yesterday. I continued in my quest for color, color, color. I think I achieved that goal in this painting. Pay no attention to any area that appears whitish. . . that's glare.
So, after completing the first painting, and before cleaning up the brushes, and kind of inspired by if not completely following suggestions in Painting Abstracts books, I dripped and splashed the leftover paint on a piece of canvas, threw on some rock salt while it was still very wet, and covered it with plastic wrap. I left it till dry, and this is the result.
And this is just a cropped portion of the second picture. I am completely delighted by this little experiment.
Absolutely stunning! Obviously very fun as well.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is so exciting with all the vivid colors. I also love the "experiment." I am going to have to try that with my left over paints from my collage pages. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've had a lot of fun! It was great to see all of that second project so we could see the difference between the surface with and without the salt and plastic wrap.
ReplyDeleteI recently played with plastic wrap alone and was pleased with the results.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments. What a boost. And yes, the splashing around with paint was super fun.
