From Small to Big Substrates

7/10/2019

Picture
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.

contemporary abstract landscape painting
"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.

Here's a 12 x 12 cradled wood panel on the easel today.  
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.
