Pique

Pique
Image Size 36" x 54"
Acrylic

This is what the inside of my head looks like right now.....

I built a cradled surface using a 1/4" plywood with a veneer on one side and gessoed it several times to seal it and make a textured surface.  Then I did a combination of pouring and scumbling to create the image.  It was a very freeing project that let me get rid of a lot of frustrations.  Abstracts are great for that and there's nothing quite as liberating as throwing paint.

  1. Oh boy, does it hurt? Seriously I like this, the pattern looks like a heart beat. Got to try more abstracts, but hard to release the head. Meryl Christmas Nancy and hope you have the best family time. Oh, yes, like the colors a lot in this too.

    1. I enjoy painting abstracts but I know what you mean about releasing the head. The realist in me fights this every inch of the way. Have a Merry Christmas Nelvia.
