Copper Shoals

I was framing a few pieces today when I realized I never posted this one. It’s an acrylic and plaster piece. I had a lot of trouble shooting it because it has copper highlights which are hard to capture without also getting a lot of glare from the varnish.

Should have in the shop later today.

Plaster paintings and studio sounds

Even though I’ve got 4 or 5 oil paintings in progress, I needed to walk away from them for a while.

For a change of pace, I started mucking with plaster and acrylics again. Not sure what I’ll do with them yet... at the moment I’m just enjoying the textures and giving them a few coats of gesso.

My latest studio upgrade includes a “new” stereo, thanks for my buddy Johnny. A few hand-me-down components from him and a few pieces from a “previously loved” shop made up a whole system. Every bit of it is 20+ years old but it sounds great. The record player is covered in punk rock stickers so I thought it would be a good spot for my appalled nun painting. (Don’t worry sister, I only own Beatles records.)

Patina Squares

I just realized I never did post the end result of this little experiment with plaster.

I just listed this set in the shop along with The Great Stone Face (Buster Keaton) and King of the Hill paintings.

BTW, am I the only one that thinks Patina Squares sounds like a medieval game show?

Probably.

Patina square

This is the end result of the 8" x 8" set of plaster panels. It seemed to be going so well until I realized I had no bronze or copper paint. Or ink. So I ended up with a faux gold patina tile. It's especially faux since I'm pretty sure gold doesn't tarnish in that way.
