Paintings so far in 2020

El Capitan in very early morning, Yosemite National Park (painted from Gordon's photo)


My cityscape created from a pour gone wrong

Acrylic 16x20 on canvas board. This painting has a story. I bought the frame and canvas at a local auction. The original painting was of birds. I gessoed over it and decided to do an acrylic pour but I had seen a pour done of faces, so I made face shapes with a glue gun. Well that went horribly wrong so I painted over the canvas again trying to to think of what I could do with it now that it had the hot glue lines for the faces. So this is what I came up with.

Pouring

These are some pours I did last week. Very messy but very interesting.

Pop Art

This is a pop art painting that I created (with help from You Tube and my art teacher) for my sister for Christmas. She was happy with it, in fact had recently been to a restaurant where a like painting was asking $500.

A little info on pop art.
