Custom-designed frame, acrylics
I custom-designed this frame for a family print. Originally, I wanted to create a very textured frame. However, as things always shift and evolve around us, my frame idea evolved into something different.
I decided to use the palette knife, in order to create a thick texture (love using the palette knife!!!!). However, the white paint was more watery than I had anticipated, and did not create thick texture. Instead, it formed around the thick, black paint that had dried the day before the white was applied.
I loved the ending result much better than my original idea! I went with a black & white scheme for the frame design because I knew that the picture already had a lot of color, and I wanted the frame to compliment the photo, but not dominate it.
I have never designed a frame before, but I have certainly painted a lot, so this was a new experience that I really enjoyed, and I will definitely be doing more of it in the future!
What do you think about it?
Peace,

"Compassion Lost (with beginnings of Cubism)", acrylics, water color, pen
(11 x 14)
This piece was created in order to express my feelings towards past relationships.
I made a man and a woman the subject of this painting. The man (right) is pictured
offering a rose and crying to the woman (left). However, the woman is crossing her arms
with an angry expression on her face. I placed the image of the Golden Mean Rectangle
on top to show how this relationship cycles around and around.
This is my reason for creating this specific art piece; however, it is open to interpretation,
and, as always, you are free to take any meaning you want from it!
This piece will be on etsy.com with a price in a few weeks.
Let me know if you are interested in this painting.
*All
pieces come with a clear finishing coat over the original painting for
protection. They also come with the title, and artist's signature on the
back.
"Spring Time Pond", Acrylics
(16 x 20)
I created this piece with a custom-designed stencil of an abstracted bumblebee.
This piece was originally created to be a figure-ground study (where the subjects and
the background both neither advance nor recede and act as decorative space). However, as this piece evolved it turned more into an abstracted view of a pond.
The price will be posted on etsy.com in a few weeks.
