Old VRS New

 I just finished 8 new paintings but I wanted to compare them with several old abstracts that are not on the blog so far.  These are several early abstracts that worked well, painted earlier than ten years ago.

Dark Moody Blue, Water-media and collage

 

Hidden Dragon,Water-media and collage

 

  Red Still Life, Water-media and collage

 

Gemstones ,Water-media and collage

 

Blues With a Vengeance, Mixed media oil and collage

 

Raspberry Rhapsody, Mixed media oil and collage

Last Dance, acrylic

 

These next two paintings were finished 2013.  The difference her was the use of harmonic gray.

 

Summer Dance, acrylic

 

Plum Lady, acrylic

Polyptych

 This type of artwork is a painting, typically an altarpiece, consisting of more than three leaves or panels joined by hinges or folds.  Boogie (my chihuahua), and I are working on two attached with decorative wood joints.

I have painted several  in the last two years which allows the person exhibiting it t to hang it however they please.  This time I had the bright idea to join them myself into one hangable work. This one only has a little more to do to the surface when I have finished the frame.

This one has all of the embellishments missing

I am starting a third to demonstrate the method of creating the collage shapes in class using sandwich paper collage.  I cut up an old painted board today and will add one long narrow board and two small boards for a five part polyptych.  Fun times!
