OK, so I decided to have a bit of fun with this one by mixing a spacey psychedelic and a hawk. Therefore Psychawk was born right here on my living room table! 

This is acrylic on Masonite at 6’ X 6”, painting small is a challenge always for me and it is always good to help hone my skills.

Wet Bombs

This is my fourth entry into the DPW challenge, the subject of water balloons is always hard, light, transparency, etc. These are hard attributes to capture in paint. 

This attempt was done on 6” X 6” Masonite with acrylic paint and finished in UVLS polymer varnish. 

Thanks for the fun!

One from the carton

I wanted to capture a mood and feel as well as an egg almost like old photos or sepia tone. This is on 6” x 6” acyllic primed masonite using various techniques in acryllic paint layers to get depth and transparancy. This is finished in UVLS polymer varnish to keep the colors and sheen.

Available for sale 





Look what other artists have to say about this painting
"What a fun take on the challenge! Amazing job in every aspect of the painting. The grout lines are fabulous, and the egg itself is so believable I want to clean it up!"
"Great job and the splatter. Some real nice highlights and textures"
"Who isn't familiar with this scene?!! Wonderful take on this challenge, and beautifully painted!"

Painting. Abstract art

Oh this is a fun challenge from DPW. I started by brush applying gesso to masonite leaving bush strokes. I chose acrylic paint as a medium, using liquitex cadmium orange and Windsor and newton cobalt blue and a bit of titanium white. Spot mixing to get an oil look was accomplished with slow dry medium, the base was the covered in gloss acrylic with a brush using the same direction brushstrokes as the gesso. The final blended squares were done using pure color blended into heavy molding medium to give dimension and a flat on gloss relief.
