Nearer Still

 

Acrylic & Rice paper on canvas 18 x 18 inches (Private Collection London)

I Love painting on Japanese Unryu paper. In this case I randomly placed pieces on the canvas like a collage and just let the texture do as it wished.

So Inclined

Oil & Encaustic on Birch 12x12 (private collection OK)

Having so much fun with my new “Beneath” series in oil and encaustics.  Couple of burns on my arm as I get used to the handling all the hot equipment… But well worth it!  I think this piece was inspired by all the Christmas cards and decorations that have suddenly appeared every where…they seem to have  gotten a hold of my subconscious.
