This particular painting was a wonderful enjoyment to create. The uses of the interior yellow and red make the foreground stick out even more to the eye. The details are exquisite. 

This is the mixing palette I used for this painting. I needed to find the right blue to go with the Pthalo that is used for the chassis. Along with the right mixture of mediums to make the textural paint the correct thickness. In mixing textural paint, I move very slowly as you have to allow time for the paint to dry since wet paint has its own dynamics. The area of the top, which kinda looks like an abstract head, is the most recent mixing. I test my paint not on my walls, I test my paint on the paint buckets I use, makes the paint easy to use and get rid of when no longer needed. So what you are seeing here is the paint taken off the bucket and placed on a white background so you pay more attention to it than the bucket.

Have a blessed week!

I have a special desire for making white paintings. After many years making white paintings, I find white to be the most powerful color as it allows one to see every detail better than any other color. I'm not making a declaration on anyone else's work, I am simply writing about my own.

Pigment by: KP Pigments Bora Bora Blue

A few months before this painting was created, I had been watching the DipYourCar Channel on YouTube that shows some amazing pigments that you don't see in painting. I got in touch with KP Pigments which supplies much of their car pigments, and they hooked me up with some sweet pigments that shall be on future paintings but this is the first one. I also used the ground glass on the backing paint I got from Paint Huffer, they make a ground glass that I got myself before and really enjoy seeing the light catch the tiny granules in the painting as you view it from all directions. 

These images are pretty large so you can click on them and really take in the details.

I spent last night going over this video time and time again. I kept thinking of making it shorter, but everytime I looked into it, I simply couldn't, as I kept loving looking at this marvelous painting. Hopefully you too.

Have a blessed day!

2023 has been one heck of a year for me. So much personal growth and growing through my paintings. The culmination of it all came about at the end of the year with this tremendous painting that really is photogenic. The painting is on a 1.5" thick wood and the nylon rope make the entire painting stick out about 3 Inches from the wall. As you can see in the photos, the nylon is very thick and as it lays upon another string it gets quite interesting to say the least. I've never been involved with a painting that was this thick, so to see it as it grew was spectacular and I enjoyed every moment. To watch the painting as it developed with each stroke is a whole new experience for me. It's one heck of a powerful painting.
