8×10” Acrylic and acrylic markers on canvas panel

This is a smaller study for a 12×16” version which I’ve just begun.

We are so much more connected to the rest of our earthling cousins than we often realize. As almost anyone who has had a pet knows, we share the same web of consciousness. Some of us just go deeper into that web than others.

20×16” Acrylic and acrylic markers on canvas panel

This image is inspired by memories of my years in Mexico and Honduras. It’s not meant to be an accurate representation of one of those magnificent massive Olmec heads, but more of a symbolic nod to those ancient cultures.

There’s an awful lot we have lost over the millennia, and we are the worse off for having done so. Not that everything about ancient cultures was wonderful, because it definitely was not. But as the world and our environment continues to change, I wonder if some of the old survival skills, especially as they relate to societies and not just individuals need to reemerge once again…

Exactly how to do that without the negatives that brought them down, well – that’s the trick, isn’t it?

11×14” Acrylic on canvas panel

It feels like it means something, but I’m not really sure exactly what this painting means, if anything. It came out of the end of my pencil on to my sketch pad, I thought it had possibilities so I turned it into a painting.

8×10” Acrylic and acrylic markers on canvas panel

I’ve had this propped up in my studio for a couple of weeks, and the more I look at it the more I like it. It seems to have a feeling of mystery, but also peace.

Technical notes: acrylic paint and acrylic markers layered back and forth. I’m finding the markers have become a central part of my painting process now.

8×10” (Top image) Acrylic and acrylic markers on carved linoleum block

Here’s the second version of the incredible skateboard dive off a cliff. I’ve posted the two versions together because it’s interesting how the substrate (canvas panel or linoleum block) influences the treatment of the same subject.

I’m not sure which one I like better.

10”x8” Acrylic on canvas panel

I love texture in a painting. I used a technique here which I used to use a lot years ago. How does it work? Glad you asked!

First, an underpainting to get the main colors in. Darker than the finish, because this technique works best going from dark to light. Then I cover the entire surface with acrylic gel. A fine-tooth comb dragged through the gel at random angles gives me the first layer of texture.

After that’s thoroughly dry, what follows is a second layer of paint, with the brush dragging paint off on the high ridges. Then I repeat the process one more time, and finish with the final layer of color. The whole thing is another great way to blend colors with acrylics.

I like the way the surface kind of looks like old weathered wood that’s been out in the elements for years.

20×16”” Acrylic & acrylic markers on canvas panel

If we don’t clean it up, Nature will. And we may not like her methods.

Technical notes: acrylic underpainting with acrylic markers then acrylic glazes over some of the marker, then more markers over that. Whew! OK, actually not all that exhausting.
