Well, here is my first official piece of art work since I started this blog. It is titled, "Tropical Fantasy" and is Acrylic on canvas, 12" x 12". This painting is a happy experiment. I don't usually work with spray paint, I'm much more into painting with a brush, however, I had a sample can of Liquitex Acrylic spray paint, and I wanted to see what I could do with it. The spray paint is all of the red you see in the painting, and I just began to build off the shapes I sprayed with standard acrylic paint and a brush. This turned into a bit of abstract, but notes of realism. The branch inspired me to drop in a few birds, which reminded me of the ocean, which is loosely interpreted in the background with the focus of the scene being the mound of tropical style flowers in the foreground.
I am pleased with the direction this painting went, and it allowed me to let my mind wonder. I will be joining the website
www.dailypaintworks.com in the next week and this piece along with others I am working on will be available for purchase there if you are interested.
Thank you for viewing my blog, I'll be back very soon to post my next painting that I'm working on, stay tuned!
