I have been experimenting with a couple of different things recently. For some of my paintings I have added a high gloss finish as the top coat by pouring an acrylic medium over the surface. I like the look it gives - although it is difficult to see in a photo it seems to bring out the layers and textures of the abstract painting below The other thing I have been playing with is the exaggeration of figures -- although I have been doing this for the last several years by abstracting the objects in my still life paintings I have found it difficult to do with my figurative work. The painting below called Gossip Girls is starting to move in the right direction I think. |
