Straight Pour That Wows

I went into my second commissioned piece for the hotel with a little confidence since the first one had worked out and my client was happy with the results. I knew I wanted to create a peaceful painting with a hint of glimmer from metallic paints. So I went about it! Got my canvas prepped, gave an extra coat of gesso, then mixed up my paints and went for it.

I went with three straight pours again, just as I had done with the first one. This time I knew I wanted to stretch the canvas a little differently to give a slightly different composition than the first one. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. The lines on this painting! Absolutely gorgeous. I can honestly say this is my favorite painting I have done to date.

I’m really gaining confidence with each painting and learning so much about how to paints interact with one another and learning little techniques to improve myself as I go. This journey is so wonderful and is really enriching my life. I know that sounds a bit grandiose and self-congratulating, but it has been a difficult year on the world at large and we can all use our little bit of joy where we can find it. I really hope my work brings a smile to your face and just adds a moment of peace to your day.
