The Front

This is The Front. A triptych. It started as a live painting at the N8 Glass Music and Art Studio's live art party. Took me almost an additional month to finish it out after the party. I'm including some shots of the individual pieces and some detail shots. The three pieces probably stretch about 6 ft from left to right.

 

Here is an extra shot before I added the black background to give you a sense of how it was made. 

 

And here are some detail shots

Back on the abstract track

Haven't made many paintings lately. I've been busy painting a haunted house and preparing to do a live mural at the Highball Halloween in Columbus Ohio.

But I did just finish this painting. "Remembering Magic Eye at the Mall" is the title. It was kinda nice to do a little abstract painting again since I've been doing the skulls series. I often found myself letting my eyes cross to see where it needed more of what color. It reminded me of looking at MagicEye posters when I was a kid.

Prussian Blue and Burnt Umber Washes

^the painting

^detail shot.

This painting started as very thick primer. I then did washes of prussian and burnt umber. I used these two colors because together they make a nice black. And the washes needed to be dark so they would pick up the texture of the primer. Then I just did my usual detailing and toning around the two colors.
