Perfect 10's Art Show Pieces...DONE

(Left to Right)

Incubation - 10"x10" Acrylic on canvas

Habitation - 10"x10" Acrylic on canvas

Well, they're finally done. Phew....just in the nick of time. All that's really left is to varnish them and put wire on the backs. That's the easy stuff though. I'm pretty happy with them and only wished the photos expressed the colors better. I tried to do a little adjusting in photoshop but alas, I got frustrated and said to hell with it. You really do have to see them in person to appreaciate the oranges and reds of the flowers.

Perfect 10's II Show - In Progress

For the past week and a half, I've been working on my two submissions for the Perfect 10's II show that'll be taking place here in Houston on March 5th. The idea behind the show is that all art must be created in a 10" x 10" format. I decided I wanted the pieces to work as one, but still work on their own. All that's left are the wild roses, so hopefully in the next day or so I'll have the painting finished. I'll post better pics of the finished pieces when I do.

Experimenting Sometimes Works

I got together with a few friends on Saturday night and this is the result. We're all artist, each with our very different styles, and it's always good to bounce ideas off of each other. I recently got involved with an art show that'll be coming up on March 5th. The idea behind the show (Perfect 10's II) is that everything must be created as a 10" x 10" piece. (or in the case of sculpture, 10" x 10" x 10"). I was completely clueless as to what I would do. I covered a canvas with fiber paste which makes a very absorbent surface and then used liquid acrylic inks and watercolors. Both of those I don't play around with too often. I feel it's not something I want to show for Perfect 10's, as it varies too much from my normal style, but the response to this piece has been very encouraging. Who knows, I may decided to play around with this technique a bit more. For now, I'll hold onto it.
