ART OF THE DAY

BIRCH 48"x48" Acrylic on canvas, 2009

I worked on BIRCH between other projects. It was originally set to have a colour palette with darker colours, but as things went on more and more white covered the surface. Working generally with bright colours, this piece was challenging in that it has so little colour in it and again, with acrylics the dry colour was never the same as the wet colour. Lastly, being able to see where I was painting was challenging at first so I started with a dark blue canvas so I could see where the white was going. The surface also has a rise to it so some squares actually stand out from the surface catching light when lit from one side.

Monday morning. gonna make it a bright new day. Monday morning. gonna shake all my cares away...

walked down university from mark's place this morning. was a nice walk instead of the usualy Bay street rats. scurry scurry...

Was out and about this weekend. saw a few new places and met a few new faces. Ran into a few landmines which was a little hairy for a bit but really nothing of consequence.

oh look!

Well here goes...

After a five year shag with livejournal, I've moved over to the B. Not sure how it will go, but I have high hopes and am willing to give it a go.
