38" x 41" . Acrylic on Canvas
Winner of 2018 Artist Magazine's Annual International Art Competition, Abstract, May 2019 Issue.
‘Road Trip’ reminds me of when I was younger, carefree, and wouldn't think twice about throwing a pack on my back and hitting the road in search of adventure. It screams FREEDOM! and is one of my favorites.
This painting was created with multiple techniques using Golden high-flow acrylics and inks in highly-concentrated form directly onto canvas.
My work usually starts on vast sheets of canvas, working on my hands and knees for long hours - often days - on the floor working wet-on-wet, before I hang the work for line and palette work.
I rarely use brushes and prefer quick, bold marks as they allow me to express myself without the wishy-washy overworking process of brushwork.
My tools include assorted plaster knives and large metal spatulas, fine and wide tip bottles for the bold exciting moves, and just about anything within reach, when inspired.
I love to work while all the mediums are wet as there is a spontaneous effect that can only be achieved this way. I never know exactly how the paints will play together. I also never know where painting will go once I start.
‘Road Trip’ began with the intention of being a soft, quiet field of wildflowers. I paint what I feel and obviously I wasn't in a pastel kind of place. I’m pleased with the results!
