Spiny Lobster Shores 4

**This one of a kind original acrylic piece is painted on French watercolor paper. We use archival level framing methods to professionally mount the paper to a white mat board, and then put it in a custom white lacquer frame. To protect the piece, we use acrylic instead of glass to help reduce chances of breaking during transportation. The outside dimensions of the frame are 29" tall X 36" wide. An under painting, similar to a photographic negative, is first laid down in complimentary colors and values to the finished piece in gestural brush strokes. This is where my brain has to think in opposites to the final outcome. Great care is taken to thicken acrylic paint so it leaves a 3 dimensional mark when dry. It's applied carefully with palette knife with just the right value and hue as to express light and form, while maintaining the gestural fresh sketch-like look my work is known for. Every mark must be exact but look spontaneous. The final result is a vibrating image that comes together as a whole, but dissolves into a beautiful chaos of colors, marks and shapes when viewed up close.
