Untitled: 2006

Untitled, 2006: Acrylic on Canvas Board, 6' by 4', $2800

Yes, that does say 6 feet by 4 feet. This is a HUGE painting. I wanted to experiment with size but knew that it would be impossible to stretch a canvas that big or be able to transport it ever or at all. So if you look closely the painting is actually made up of different size canvas boards that when all fit together make up the entire painting. So this painting is move-able, transportable and installable.

Cave Canem

Cave Canem, 2010: Acrylic on Canvas, 12'' by 12'' NOT FOR SALE

This is the beginning of a painting that I have promised my boyfriend. I thought I would record the process of this painting. As you can see the darker brown areas in this picture are still wet, I just stopped working. I like to usually work starting on a dry canvas, so I will do a layer, let it dry and then go back in and continue to layer over it. This may happen once or dozens of times until I feel that the painting is complete. Sometimes the complete painting does show the original layer and sometimes it comes out completely different. I did use some molding paste in the ochre to give it more texture.

I've really been enjoying exploring new colors and this painting was once entirely silver. I used both silver and gold, in the picture they came out looking more tan than anything iridescent or sparkly. Right now I have this hanging in my room, and I love looking at it every morning.

Spider Web

Spider Web, 2010: Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas, 9'' by 10'', $300

This painting took me a long time to complete. I kept going back, covering over and layering. I think :) it's finally done. I love the way that the drips came out, the look and texture of this painting. I enjoy the almost eerie feeling that it gives with the stark white paint over layers of black and other colors.
