REACHING

WIP

I've had this cutout and underpainting on my easel for weeks trying to come up with something. I even attached real branches, but nothing was working. I made some sketches I liked and last night went to work.
Over areas of the underpainting, I used masking tape which I peeled off after applying the thick paint to let some of the underpainting come through.

This is a part of the "CONNECTED" series I'm presently working on. I also plan to carry this into my painting.

During my staycation, I took the time to finish this painting of Sera Song. I used a mixture of cold wax medium and Gamblin galkyd in my background paint.

Cedar, Pine, Oak

I took a little "Staycation" this past week in order to work on my art. This is a combination of woods:

Pine for the figure, Oak branch and Cedar for the frame. I've been considering starting a series of this motif.

The Wait

Well, I built and shellacked the pedestal last week and here she stands! I'm really looking forward to setting up my new bandsaw next week and start on a new laminated piece. In the meanwhile, I have a couple of pieces to finish and post soon. I love gettin' dirty!
