Fun with Fiber Paste

So far, 2011 has me playing with new techniques. I have created "skins" by spreading fiber paste on wax paper and letting it dry to a paintable surface. These will soon become collage pieces. If you haven't tried Golden products, go out and find some and experiment. If you are local, get them at City Art!

Integrity

"Perfect Timing"
15.25" x 23.25" - Acrylic on Amate Bark Buckskin

This is the painting that I delivered to my client yesterday. She saw it when I posted it on Facebook, and immediately inquired about purchasing it. While I could have sold it to her directly under my business license, I chose not to do so. Since she came to me via Verve Interiors for the first painting she purchased, the sale for this piece is going through Verve as well. Integrity is a great thing to display and something to look for in an artist (and in everyone)!

"For Thus it Was" at home...



I enjoyed getting to visit the owners who commissioned "For Thus it Was" this morning. In fact, I delivered a new piece for them. A post about that painting will be coming soon. Not only have I gained clients with this family, I have gained friends....and their Scottish Terrier named Scotch loves me! It is really nice getting to see my art where it belongs!
