Abstract Study (Details) – acrylic on hardboard

Details of small studies.
Excessive color / under paint dry – topcoat wet heavily varnished caused
cracking I believe.
I like the effect of revealing underneath the thick topcoat – element of
chance in painting.
Need to consider color relationships – what’s on top / underneath…
Control combinations?

I love this one!!!
Thanks Jen… I’m trying out different techniques… really just fooling around – I like the accident in this one too.
I’m working on a bigger painting now – see what happens… it’s like sketching – good stress relief and just because…
Sure is. I need to dig out my paints and stuff….but I have NO idea which box they’re in…. man, moving sucks.
Moving does suck… I can’t imagine the adventure that would be right now… two kids and complete house full of “stuff”… not fun to contemplate. I guess that after a while if you don’t touch a few of the boxes you can just throw them out or give them to the good will…. you didn’t need it anyway…. Any new pictures of the house??
I just gor here in your blog, Matt, but I liked really very much your art. Keep experimenting!
