Acrylic on Acrylic Yarn and Poly Rope on Painted Wood Chassis

48 X 36 IN

Every now and again I like to work with Green. With this one in particular I chose a very transparent green for the chassis color which almost has a jade feel to it. Using black yarn it really makes the chassis color pop through the spaces created by the wrapping of the yarn. After the yarn was down, I began wrapping with a blue and a black poly rope, also called paracord. The almost fluorescent green really sets off the blue texture which was the final color added. Once on the gallery wall the painting really has tremendous visual depth, no illusion here. I have chosen to work primarily from now on with a 1.5 IN deep chassis wood which allows the interior bracing to really sit front and center to your eye and you don't have to go searching for it within the interior of the painting. I'll most likely switch up to 2 IN wood in the future to achieve even more depth into the interior. I'm trying to allow light to really get deep into the interior and have realized that a deeper chassis would do as I need.

Gotta get those details in here!

This particular painting is made with the same rare pigment I received from Guerra Paint in NYC. It'll probably be the last of these to have this particular color choice. Since no one is making this pigment anymore.

Thanks for viewing!

As I develop these TESTERS, it gives many more insights into future work. As you'll see in the future. Here is another artwork from my TESTERS series. As always the images begin with the front and skew the front views toward the side which allows interior views into the painting. Then backside and skewed images from that side. Video to come...

As you might know by now, I name all the TESTERS by the number of artworks completed. Almost to #30 now. Here's images of #26 for you to enjoy. The images always begin with the FRONT side, then the skewed front to give you a better view into the interior, then the BACK and it's skewed interior photos. Enjoy!
