This is another couple of new paintings I've been working on with this new technique of very thin layers of highly tinted acrylic paints. I have been simply randomly placing color on the canvas, wetting it down with a water spray to let it run and get drippy, then let dry.
upon gazing at the dried canvas, the images of what's to be painted on the canvas sort of just appears on it's own if you let it. I begin to see what the canvas is telling me and I paint that out. With the first one I saw a sunset beach and just let that happen. On this second one I saw a magical land mass in the sky with it's own sunset, below that a snowcapped mountain range feeding into a lake and below that even a a painted Arizona-ish style landscape. So much to see! In any case, this one is not finished as I can still see an American Indian's head and shoulders in a waterfall under the floating landmass in the sky. Do you see it?
