painting

I've not been very active in posting here. I have been doing some painting in a new series for a different market.  here is as ample. Let me know what you think. Should I do more?

 

playing along K&P trail

I was walking the K&P trail near Harrowsmith again last week and checked on the iron pieces I had found and placed back in July (see July 10th 2016 post) on the rock cut.
Here are my comments from Sept 5th 2016
"I was back on the K&P trail Sept 5th and found the iron pieces left there along the rock cut. See my post from July 10th 2016. No one had moved or disturbed them (or taken them away). So I adjusted them again. I'll check for them again next time I'm that way."

Well, someone has moved them and placed them differently now. Exciting that someone is playing the game. I have changed their position again. Here is before and after.

 The above photo shows how I found them on May11th 2017

 This second photo shows how I have placed them now.

March in Ontario

March changes day to day. Here are a few photos after the last snow fall. Hoping it's the last for this season.

Painting challenge 2017 comes to an end

Day 31 of the Jan. 2017, 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta

Well the month has gone by fast, a good thing for a winter month.
As done last year, here is a collage of the works completed. I did not include all 28 pieces, only the ones I feel will not need rework. Last year, some people told me that the collage was an artwork in itself and asked for copies.
If you are interested in any of the works shown on the pages of my blog, let me know. I can give you a price and if you prefer a giclee print, that can also be arranged.

Today is the last day of the challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta. and it has been a challenge to say the least. I've learned a lot and found new skills. But I'm also nearly out of paint and substrate.

Day 24 Painting challenge 2017

Day 24 of the Jan. 2017, 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
14"x28" acrylic on canvas abstract "figure emerging11"

I've missed a couple of days of the challenge due to family issues. But should be back on track for the next few days.
This new painting was completed over top of a lot of layers of failed work. I call this type of canvas a canvas from hell. But I think I may have broken the curse on this one.

Friday the 13th, a difficult day for painting. I am painting over an old canvas today which has a deep texture on it. It is hard to develop a new image over such a marked pattern. Here is the result.
