WIP - Crossing Borders
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008
Work In Progress: Crossing Borders - Thousand Islands skyline, New York / Ontario border - 5 framed panels each 26 x 11 inches - Oils sculpted with palette knives…will finish with Acrylics when completely dry, probably in about 6 months. Above: playing with the vision using digital pen.
Oil and Water - never the twain shall mix? This work will challenge that, and experiment with crossing those borders. I think the oil resisting acrylics should make for some interesting effects and textures; the places where there are layers, dips and holes should fill nicely with acrylics. If I’m not pleased or the idea isn’t working I’ll finish it using oils, but I’d like to give this idea a try.
Below, click on thumbnails: A few details of the panels as they are now at Stage 1, layered with palette knives on the lower half, mostly with black; intentions are for the black to show through in the finished pieces, and to contrast with bright colors applied over top when dry - see you in 6 months or so with this one!

Scareda Color was drawn with my new computer pen, using the Paint Shop Pro program. It’s like learning to draw all over again using different hand, arm and shoulder muscles. Fun!
