The Home Stretch
Abstract #25 - 14" x 11" - Acrylic house paint and gesso on Masonite - $300
I only need a few more paintings. I joked in my interview with Michel for the newspaper article that I might resort to Abstract Expressionism if it comes down to the wire.
Well, that is exactly what I did, but I am really happy with the results. I might explore this more. Just because it has been done before, doesn’t mean I can’t do it again, right?
When I got down to the studio after our family art class, I got some black and blue house paint and put them into squirt bottles. I squirted a panel and started to smudge it with my hand. Then I had the idea to put another panel on top of it and smoosh them together. It worked out well.

The photos didn’t turn out great because the paint is glossy and really reflected the flash. I took the photos without a flash indoors at 10 p.m. Maybe I will get around to taking pictures outside, but I needed to get these up so people can see them on New Years Day. That is when the article comes out.
