The weather this Easter weekend has been amazing. I made sure to spend a little time out in it yesterday while putting on the second layer of my new piece. Usually I work backwards. I lay in the foreground elements and then start sticking stuff in the background. It is a LOT MORE TIME CONSUMING to to do it that way. You have to watch your brush and lines and not paint over things that are already finished. So on this piece I'm trying an experiment and working background to foreground as much as possible and I'm going to document the whole beautiful disaster in phases.
If you aren't familiar with my style it's a bit like this.
So the second layer I added was another new experiment I spray painted on my canvas! OMG! Slap my hand! TABOO! Not really, we artists can do whatever the hell we want. :)
I have basically broken up the space with two different colors of spray paint. Now I will begin some more background fields in acrylic paint. Right now it just reminds me of a nice swimming pool I want to leap into.
Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a wonderful Easter if that's your bag...er, basket! I'll be making some deviled eggs and visiting with the family in this gorgeous weather.
(Did I mention the wonderful weather?)
