 It can be a challenge to enlarge a favorite small format image onto a bigger substrate.
Here the 8x8" canvas had some texture from crafted acrylic tissue paper collage pieces. I was able to skim paint across those hills and valleys and leave a nice abstract image with ease. The larger 30x30 canvas had virtually no texture like that so I'm using a palette knife and loose strokes to create some visual texture. I think it's working.

I activate the surface before I ever start painting. It's a great way to loosen up and
destroy the fear of a blank substrate. Also, by veiling with glazed colors, some of these marks remain creating interest. Love this process. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS - ABSTRACT, NATURE AND LANDSCAPE  "Wintry Mix" © Melody Cleary 2018 Working on this painting I began with the warmish colors of fall and then later the addition of the blue and bluish white conjured a feeling of winter frost and ice. Thus, a wintry mix. 22 x 15 inches, acrylic mixed media on 140# smooth watercolor paper. $300 unframed. Contact me at the Contact page.

The many marks are what feed my intuition and generate visual excitement for me. What comes next? Sometimes I don't know but it will happen. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, ABSTRACT AND NATURE ARTIST It's the Fall season.....how can the colors not speak to an artist! I'm back to painting after having to take time off after a fall and readjusting my life to being non ambulatory. No surprise as I've been affected with Charcot Marie Tooth disease for about my whole life.....a slow progressive peripheral nerve disease. I wore braces for almost 30 years, with crutches, and a scooter outdoors, then indoors.....now just the scooter gets me around. Just another change for me and I couldn't do it without my devoted husband's help..... and he just retired a year ago. 35 years of marriage we celebrate this November!! 'Tis the season to be grateful! "Early Fall". 12 x 12 inch cradled panel. Acrylic and mixed media. Contact me if you're interested in this one.
