"Sitting" (sold)

(sold)


The first person you call to share a joy or sorrow is probably a trusted friend. If you are blessed to have more than one, you are a rich person indeed!

If your received a "jolt" when this image appeared on your screen....it's because you are viewing my wilder side! Black gesso is the star here. Notice the division of space. The white space has the same stamping with graphite with a bit of the cobalt blue bleeding through. The blue was applied first and dried. The black gesso followed and then several areas of blue again. After each application of paint, I softened the edge by touching it with a brush loaded with clean water. Edges are a huge deal...especially with so many straight ones. If the edge is left hard, with no feathering, the eye will go directly to that edge and the piece will be less integrated. You will see this right away when you try it yourself. Also, if you are working on a larger piece and the paint dries too quickly...just dip your brush in alcohol and scrub the edge. (Alcohol breaks up acrylic paint.)
