Yet another abstract. This one probably needs to be adjusted as the layers aren't so visible as they should be. Easy enough to do. Sometimes, I like to paint just to paint. Can't make any more prints, though; we're out of wall space.

Likely the last work demo for awhile. With new items coming in, I don't imagine they'll want me drawing so much. Did another Rembrandt as I find him challenging and relaxing at the same time. Procreate.

This post looks a lot like the last one. I did some touching up of areas that were not nearly dark enough. I didn't want to mess with the energy of the painting so really just sought to add to overall contrast. Didn't take long, but it was what the painting needed. 28"x52", latex paint on canvas.

I've wanted to do this for a long time; go and get real paint, canvas and do something abstract and big. This isn't done but I had to stop to let it dry as all I was doing was making everything grey. Black and white house paint on canvas, roughly 28x56? Not sure. It's fun, daunting and awkward at the same time. No undo. Messy. I don't really have a proper studio for this, it's just the garage which is fine for now but in as little as a month won't be suitable. It was hard getting into the movement, getting what I wanted and I didn't think I even liked it all that much until I left it alone and walked away. Now, it's growing on me, showing me some of that graffiti-vibe I was hoping for. SO different from digital. Not better, worse, just different. Will take more photos when I've done more. Oh, and my drips are real, not added for effect.

Sometimes stuff just happens. I had an hour at work the other day where no one was coming in to learn, so I did one of my usual work demos. This was just messing about, doing some more graphic abstract stuff based on the old Lucco-speak. And I liked it. And I took the iPad I was using, put it back on the rack and forgot about it. And that image bothered me for two days until I went back and made sure to airdrop it to my own iPad and bring it home. I'm doing an experiment where I upped the DPI and am having a print made. It shouldn't work but the file looked ok. So we'll see. And if that's the case, that it does work, I have a couple others I thought couldn't be printed that will be.
