Braided Paintings #4

I have shared each of the braided paintings I made in the early part of 2017. I plan on making MANY more of these tremendous works of art. So many things to do with them that it keeps my mind moving from one to another at the speed of thought. 
This forth one was clearly a very different one. Instead of leaving the rope it's natural color, I grabbed a nice can of Montana spray paint and proceeded to coat it in this wonderful violet color. I took it out to the patio and found a place in a corner to hang it from the top of the fence, and got to painting. Now part of the fence is violet in color and everytime I see it I am reminded of painting it. It was actually a pretty warm day in January when I painted it, if it hadn't been, the rope probably would have been painted in the studio where I can't use aerosol paint, so it would have ended up black...maybe.

My only regrets are I cannot find a way yet to make larger versions, I am in need of more space in order to work. I know I will find my way and things will work out. I'm just glad to be able to share these with you. 

Thanks for viewing.

Braided Paintings #3

I noticed I had yet to finish writing about the new rope paintings, or as I've been referring to them, as Braided Paintings. I began by sharing 1 and 2 and just kinda got caught up in others things instead of sharing 3 and 4. It's not like these are all i'm going to make, it's simply all I could make at the time. There is so much creativity in the days, and I need to write and document it all before it decides to leave me. I've been hot with ideas as of the last year and I would love to be able to exhibit these, but that's for other people to get in with first.

This is #3 in the Braided Paintings I was working on around early 2017. I actually even had them on my website before the website was taken down. I sometimes wonder if that was a bad deal or a good one, time will tell. But it IS really nice to be able to share these works with YOU, and at the same time, be able to share my thoughts at the same time.


One other thing nice about this blog as opposed to the website is now I can show not only the "gallery" type image, but I can also share all the detailed images, which those of you who know me, you know I LOVE doing that. I do it to give you the computer viewer a little bit more extrapolation as to what the work will look like in person. I had a wonderful short conversation with a fellow artist in brooklyn while I was there, he mentioned how different and cooler they looked in person, even with all the details I attempt to share online. So I'm trying, but the work still definitely NEEDS to be seen in person. I hope that will be happening a LOT more in 2018.

One thing that I don't believe has been mentioned is all the prep work that goes into the making of these. After the braiding was complete, the work was anchored so the tension would continue, and then I proceeded to coat the entirety of the surface in acrylic medium, so the whole of the work has been sealed from the elements. Once the sealing and anchoring were complete, the texture paint was applied and voila. The work is made to look as if it were painted directly on the wall. It hangs from a hanger embedded into the rear so all it needs is one small screw to hang from. These are not very heavy at all. Less than 5 pounds.

Now we begin the details...
