This is an experiment for how to mount my large portrait paintings. I had my piece 3.2 accepted into the semi final of the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series show in Vancouver next week (Winsor gallery) and now I'm in a bit of a panic cuz I want to mount it flat and not on a stretcher. So heres a trial run using foam core and pva glue. Fingers crossed!
Below are the prints that I'll have for sale during the annual Intergrate Art Society festival. Should be a fun weekend with lots of cool events happening :)
I'll need to do a few sketches before starting my next portrait. I want the next one to have a feeling of burn out exhaustion. That delightful moment when your head hits the pillow after a late night.
Im starting work on a collaborative painting with Ira Hoffecker. Going to try and meld my fractured figures in with her map like abstraction. Im not sure the oil will hold over the resin she uses, but i guess we'll see :)
Starting a new 4 panel painting in my portrait series. This one will focus on making the plane of the painting like an actual skin. We'll see how it goes ;)
Here are some of the paintings i have been working on to bulk up my cafe series. I still need to make a few more for my shows on the mainland this fall and winter. So far so good :)
