UNTITLED - May 18, 2013 - Acrylic on Canvas

I'll get right to the point...

"The more I tried to finish this one, the closer I got to an unrecoverable failure, so I just  stopped."

Oh, and before I forget, keep in mind that I never mentioned anything about any of this "stuff" being any good.

UNTITLED - May 7, 2013 - Acrylic on Canvas

Acrylic on canvas plus some new colors I'm trying out.  Somewhat of an industrial looking number I suppose.  Same formula, though.  Start, work, and press finish once it bears enough believability to warrant being referred to as "finished".  

Next up is a version of a recently failed piece.  Failure is rare, yes, as I can usually deny a mistake well enough to make it look like a real artistic endeavor in the end.  At least that's the lie I've told myself. Yes, a lie, to which I'm sticking.  Now, for the moment of truth (if you can handle it): Me + paints, brushes, and canvas + art =  delusional.  Enjoy... or not.

If you guessed "Paint something new already!!!" was one of my resolutions for 2013 then you've just won an IOU for a prize which is scheduled to be awarded to you sometime between now and the end of western civilization.

Yep, another acrylic on canvas.  I swore I was going to figure out a way to give something in the proximity of grey a more distressed look.  Since I drink a lot of that Keyfood brand seltzer I got the quasi-novel idea to rough out the midsection of the bottle and rough out the paint.  The fact that the paint is "pewter" didn't make the task terribly difficult either.

As I might've stated elsewhere, "Another Idea-less abstract that just happened to work out".

One of these days I swear I'm going to learn how to paint curved lines and get ideas about curved lines and dream about closed curves. One of these days I hope I learn how to paint--- or at least learn how to stare into a corner of my apartment and paint that.

Carbon Black and Cement Gray acrylics on canvas. This one was long overdue plus I needed to workout some residual mistiness from earlier in the day. I did have "paint" on my mental to-do list while on a two week hiatus from work.

A comeback of sorts after like three (3) months. Cement Gray, Burnt Sienna, and Metal Brass.

UNTITLED - November 28, 2008 - Acrylic and Oil on Canvas

I had this one as a to-do given the four (4) day weekend. Pewter, metallic copper, and raw umber were the most heavily used here. The panel of thirds just seemed appropriate. Black/cement grey/raw umber were used as both filler and a means for obscuring some unwanted strokes created at the very start of this endeavor.
