Say Cheese!
Acrylic, oil pastel and pencil on cradled plywood
24 x 16 in
61 x 40.6 cm
Photo op. The falling ring planted itself (unrecognized at first) early during the painting process, the camera option arrived later – time for the bride to toss the bouquet...or possibly hurl. Seismic life-change worthy of a photo. And what is your favorite cheese?
The ongoing Super Ply series consists of black and white paintings on bare plywood. I begin with a random hand doodled abstract monotype on the bare wood, then paint with 2 small brushes and my hands. I add details with oil pastels and pencil. I usually work in silence alone in my studio, but some of these have been created live at art events and reflect the mood I sensed in the room. As a process painter, I allow each painting to develop organically so the character and context are not planned at all. Any text fragments - and the title - become clear at the end when the piece resolves itself.
