Dancing Music

Here is my newest painting, Dancing Music. I painted this for my Mom's birthday on September 22nd. Happy Birthday Mom!

This painting is not my usual style or color pallet. I don't really like to do anything with detail. I'm more of a heavy handed, smearing paint, type of guy. I also like heavy, dark colors. the closer to black the better for me.

Here's the painting. Let me know what you think.

Shadows

This is my latest painting and is titled Shadows. Don't ask me where I got the idea from. I don't really know. I put several layers of paint on this thing but felt like it wasn't going anywhere. I took it out to the back yard and sprayed it with my high pressure washer which peeled of some of the layers of paint. Once I did that I started seeing something so I added the bold, horizontal, red bar and then covered the whole thing with a very thin wash of Mars Black giving it the dark feel. It might be a little too dark for most people's taste but what the heck.

Tell me what you think about Shadows.
