Happy New Year!
My final commission of 2012 was a 4 x 8 foot painting on panel. The wall which it was designed for had a vaulted ceiling, so the custom framing allowed the painting to appear as an architectural element in the room. Using a limited palette of colors to coordinate with the furnishings, only knives and blades were used to create this painting, no brushes. This technique gave the painting a rich texture. Painting it brought me a great deal of enjoyment, especially when I pulled out my old "Bob Ross" plexiglas painter's palette. I have included the progression photos so you may see my process.
Wishing you peace and joy in the new year. Thank you for your continued support of my efforts.
