A couple of weeks ago, I did a couple of pouring paintings. This is the other set of six paintings that I made. The paintings are in no particular order. The first one was made by adding a flat color of purple paint. I flattened the paint with a straw. I then added some colors in the middle. I then used a stick to make the little star shape. The final round dots were added one droplet at a time. I used a syringe to add the color droplets. The colors had a bit of water in the mix. I...

Over the last couple of days, I was looking up tutorials for pouring paintings. With the videos, it did go a little better than my first try at that medium. Since I was still practicing, I decided to do tiny paintings. I usually prefer smaller paintings, because it uses up less paint. With larger works, I start getting desperate, and annoyed. I had that first feeling about it, when I painted the Virgin Mary. I used my first big canvas. It took about two weeks to complete the painting. I even started to get a little bit nervous with my...

This is another one of my Alice paintings. I like to try to serialize some of my paintings. A couple of days ago, I had made a bit of a dud.

This is one of my few recent acrylic paintings. From time to time, I get a little something called inspiration. Trying to work without it is not really my style. Sometimes a combination of words, is enough to get going with that painting nonsense. In any case, I have been meaning to get more canvases to make more paintings. There are still plenty of walls left to fill in my room. The featured painting is Alice inside her Head. I wanted to give it a dream like feeling. Alice is part of a mini series of paintings, all with the...

Today, I decided to do something a little bit different. This is not to say that I am running out of fine art to show you. I can paint and draw many things. For the time being, I have been focusing on my children’s book project. I don’t want to show any finished pictures from the book till it gets published. I have a real good feeling about. Anyhow, a couple of years ago, through the magic of Facebook mother got in contact again with a childhood friend. They were real tight when younger. She gave him his first terrible...
