Red Skull

What to say really. I was tinkering while watching horror movies.

Acrylic paint on 12 X 16 inch canvas.

waves and sky

So, just a random painting I did about a week or so ago.

16 X 12 inch acrylic on canvas.

I used the layer trick for the sky, but not huge contrasting colours like I usually play with.

Cowboy Hatted Skull

 

One more crazy looking back ground. Did a blend first of 2 different pinks then added a greyed blue over top with that new trick.

I know, you are wondering how I am doing that right? Well ... what would the fun in letting everyone know be.

 

Well it is acrylic paint on a 16 X 20 inch canvas.

 

Acoustic Guitar on 2

 

So I was tinkering with my acoustic guitar near by.

I placed 2 smaller canvases end to end and traced the outline .... I cheated a little.

 

So 2 acrylic paintings both on 8 X 10 inch canvas.

Stained Glass

 

So I was playing around with a gloss medium and an iridesent medium.

Thought I might be able to get a stained glass look out of it.

Sort of worked, you can't really see it in this photo, I need to get a better camera for this.

Martagon Lily

 

So this odd shaped canvas is one of the paintings I gave to A.R.L.S.

The Alberta Regional Lily Society.

They set it up in a silent auction and it went.

Coralbells

 

Was just tinkering with colours and leaf shape. Coralbells or huchera.

 

12 X 16 canvas and acrylic paint.

 

Dandie Lions

 

So this is the first painting I did with the new back ground trick.

I really didn't have  much of an idea to go with it but I think this one turned out good.

 

12 X 16 Canvas. Acrylic paint.

 

Ragged Morning Glory

 

What can I say here. I started tinkering with a few new ideas in the acrylic paint.

First one was with the back grounds. It is a layer trick I picked up.

The second new trick was with how to blend colours on the brush as I went along.

I think it turned out OK.

Been Busy

So as it goes life got busy and I didn't get here much over the last few months.
I do how ever have a hand full of paintings That i have been working on. Tinkering with a few things in the acrylic paints.
Sold 6 paintings and gave 2 of my lily paintings away to the local Lily society for silent auction items. They didn't go for as much as i thought they might. But it still helped out over all in the long run.

So I will try and get a few more new paint tinkering's up so you can take a peek or 2.

For now I've slowed down on painting in the heat of summer as acrylic paint drys faster then I thought it would. Plus I am somewhat sidelined due to health. But that will be fixed soon.

Forward I go. I hope you all have a great summer.
Cheers and thanks for stopping by.
