This is one of those paintings that started out one way and ended another. Sometimes I think my subconscious just takes over my eyes and hands and does whatever it wants. It may be difficult to see all the detail here, but it is one of a few paintings that made me say "wow" to myself when it was done. I do not take my painting too seriously, (and collectors and galleries don't either, for that matter) but friends, family, and some folks who have come into my home to do repairs or paint walls, or deliver things have seemed to like some of them...or maybe they were just being kind.
Regardless, it gives me joy to rub paint on canvas in new and different ways. sometimes I combine water soluble oil colors with traditional oils, and even metallic acrylics. You never know what might be unless you try. The paint manufacturers' reps have told many sales people in art supply stores that mixing the oil and water soluble "oil" colors doesn't work.... so i guess this painting isn't a reality after all...maybe it's a quantum effect in some other reality. what do you think?
