Here for now - to go into the Artwork blog as works in progress

Here are a few of the pieces I've been working on - experiments as always, and fun as fun can be.

They're works in progress, texture going onto the cedar shakes from that 100 year old house. They'll get acrylic and/or metallic, depending on what they want when comes the time to finish them up.

This one will most likely want acrylics. The exact same paints are going to look different when applied to the wood of the cedar shake and to the texturing, so we'll see what comes of it. The good news is that if it turns out to be something i don't like the looks of I can always paint over it and start fresh!

  I have a feeling this one will end up being something of an abstract. Although the foundation is there to go with a 'traditional' landscape/skyscape, I don't think that's what Destiny has in mind for it.

And this one ... ah, this one might end up being quite an interesting little piece, although it certainly doesn't have to go that route.  But what I'm seeing is a background of stone with a sort of futuristic 'city' in the foreground. Is the city protected by the stone or held captive by it? That's a Story the might have to find a way to tell itself as I have absolutely no idea at present! Part of the Story might emerge as the paints go onto the piece, so ... be ready to see this one when it's complete.

Part of the fun of it is how the pigments and/or metallics react  and interact with the different textures of the wood of the cedar shakes and the smoothness of the texturing.
