My Life.

My life just got severely less crazy...thank God!  And I will be able to post a lot more often.  I plan to be making work this summer!  Tons of it.  I have already started making some collages so just you wait!

Anyways, I thought I would post some of the paintings that I have made this past semester in my Mixing Materials painting class.  I am really happy with them.  They break down the boundaries of painting has to be, at least to me, and moves away from my old work well still maintaining the same themes, subject matter, and color pallet.

I already showed off my muslin piece so here are my wax paintings, my object with painting, and my FINAL (which is my culmination of the semester).


This one is Rubber Bands encased in wax.


Close Up


This is dripped wax that had Oil Paint mixed with it.


This one is sheets of wax with Oil Paint added to it.  I then carved into it with a woodcutting tool.



My object for my painting with object was a dollar store rug that I cut apart.


And some Close Ups.



Last but not least, my final painting was almost 400 mini canvases that I made with 3" x 3" pieces of plywood and dyed muslin squares.  I placed them next to each other randomly by pulling them out of a black garbage bag.  The piece ended up being 6' x 3.25'.


I am enjoying the formalism of my latest painting work and how I am advancing the way I use my squares.
