a little lighter, and a whole lot messed up..
Owls #2
Sometimes when you run a series of paintings weird things happen. The dude was a mess. He is now fortunately covered by a paper version, but his ‘texture’ was lost and it feels like cheating a little. While collage is a very legitimate artful category, the point was stick to the canvas and paint.
Oh well, may my path to artists’ hell continue for I have now mixed Golden fluid acrylics with the ‘cheap’ stuff , Liquitex glaze, Heavy Artist’s Cement from US Artquest to hold the dude in place and I think we just about hit every manufacturer there is.
There were supposed to be 4 in this series, but I think I might just end the pain here.

Have a very whimsyful day !

I like what you did here! It doesn’t seem messed up to me at all. I like your colors a lot. I had to really laugh at your so-called ‘sins’ because I’ve committed some of those very same ‘sins.’

I think the layers are great too! But I am one who is happiest when breaking all the art “rules” and mixing together all kinds of material. Keep it up! I love where you’re going with this.

I like this work, I would like to be able to do that myself. I have begun an art journal for the purpose of doing things I do not usually do. Its great to see some ideas.

Well, I think the dude is pretty cute. You are right, sometimes a series can go awry, but I find usually there is some good thing that came of it even if not all finished pieces. Nice to find you through PPF.
