I did get the photos taken yesterday. Here you go.... Some old ones first and then some of my new work. When I first started in the studio, in order to get comfortable, I did some corrections to some of my old paintings. I had been looking at them on my walls and knew exactly what needed to be corrected. So just for kicks, here are the old and the new. As usual, click on the small photo to see a much enlarged version.
The new chrome series is totally different from the older work. I find that I am really enjoying the intricate work of the chrome pieces. I also like the idea of working in a series and finding a new avenue of growth.
This is one of the older paintings. "Flaming Sunflower" Done for a painting class I took a few years back. The professor thought it looked crafty. At that time I thought I was using my creativity with multi-media. The sunflower is paper and acrylic on canvas.
This is a close up so you can see how I used the paper for the petals of the sunflower. The paper is totally soaked in acrylic gel and paint. So far they have held up really well.
Green Callas was done in a series of lilies. This one is acrylic, the others were all done in water color.
Red Rocket, part of the new experimental series that I have begun. Dan says do more of these. He thinks more Chevy owners would love to have these on their wall.
Swan was my first attempt at chrome and is only 8x10 inches. Quite small. But fun to do.
"Ram on Fire" was the most complicated hood ornament that I have painted so far. The back ground of the flames was almost as much fun as the ram itself. Love the contrast of the chrome and black.
More to come. Next up on my easel, a water color of a golden trophy from the Bonneville Speed Trials.
