Conversation With Many Moons

"Conversation With Many Moons" - acrylic on aluminum panel, 11" x 14". Ready to frame, or can be leaned against a wall upon a shelf. Available here and at Artfinder.

What have we HERE?

The first painting inspired by the "Ten Minute Monsters" exercise my intern and I recently developed. The sketch began as a vegetable shape with a head. And after that - ZOOM - off to space I went.

This is a return to aluminum panel, which I can't resist. The surface is difficult to build layers upon, but will develop delicious textures with the help of a spray bottle and some paper towels. And the back is shiny like a mirror - unexpected bling. :)

Conversation With Many Moons

We are just a couple days from June...a month which heralds the beginning of summer, Father's Day and Ron's 65th year-around-the-sun celebration. If you're in Portland this weekend and want to stop by to toast the old man, give me a shout. We will kick off his birthday month on Saturday. Let the wild rumpus begin!

1. Dang! Sure do wish I'd be in Portland this weekend. I'd pop right over, celebrate Ron, do a little exchanging at the Little Free Library, and give you a ginormous hug!

2. The way those moons pop right off the aluminum panel is full-on 3-D magic!!!

oooooh Dotty, wouldn't that be lovely???

The moons....the secret is charcoal pencil and a little smudge with a finger. The icing on the cake!

Happy birthday Ron! L'chaim! Wish I could join you all but my magic carpet is in repairs! Oh how I love when the painting takes over! Wish him a safe journey and back! Aluminium, what next?

Carol, we need to have a chat with your magic carpet repairman! ha ha! This painting sure had a mind of its own, and I am so happy to go along for the ride. After aluminum....ooooooh maybe back to plywood for a bit. Though I've been eyeing some glass...
