I'm rather glad this week is over. I have felt that I have had very little control over my time or anything for that matter. I did have to take the new plasma TV back to have it replaced and then the cable repair supervisor came back to hook everything up again. Lots of running around just having to do stuff. I can't even say that it amounted to much. Oh yes, I almost forgot the wing chair and ottoman came back from being re-upholstered, so the living room is pretty well set. I am still on the hunt for a unique side table or cabinet. That will be serendipity.
As to art work, I have been working with acrylics trying different techniques and mediums. Here are two small paintings using stamping and gloss gel. The stamp was cut out of an eraser.
The other one is bigger and was my first attempt at using a self leveling gel with acrylic. It did not respond as I expected. I thought I could get the paint mixed with the gel to "flow" . Not much viscosity. I will try this again, but not without a bit more information as to how it works best. I have seen some artists produce works where the paint seems to just flow beside or through other colours of paint. that's what I wa aiming for. Instead I got more of a Jackson Pollock approach with a lot less control than he achieved! Oh well, this year was about experimenting and learning (I hope)!
