Experimental Acrylic Techniques Workshop 2

After all the positive word of mouth about my “experimental acrylic techniques” workshop, I organized a second one. Again, I encouraged the artists, who attended, to try different methods. Some even came up with their own ideas. Below is a photo of two pieces I worked on during the workshop. The left painting involved imprinting of a sponge and string followed by a teal coat on top. The right painting was created by two types of bubble wrap sitting on top of watery acrylic and a glazing of magenta and then cadmium red. The artists, who attended, had a lot of fun.

Third Place Under Glass

This morning I entered art into an art show competition sponsored by the Jefferson Art Guild. It was held at the Clearview Mall in Metairie. Participants designated three pieces to be part of the judging. Anyway, my colored pencil piece, "Fuse," was awarded third place in the Under Glass Category. The judge was Martin Wohlgemuth.
