Earth Abstract

Laying a piece of freezer paper over the drying Celluclay 

forms these great bubble pockets and smooth areas. 

Lines and Spaces

My first project in art school was creating a Mondrian. I still chant from time to time... Mondrian, lines and spaces. I put a layer of paper mache on a canvas and pushed the lines in with the edge of a ruler. I love all the texture. Once I got the colors the way I wanted them I aged it with a wash so it looked like it had been hanging on someones wall for 30 years.

New Ways of Adding Texture

I've been having fun experimenting with adding CelluClay to my paintings. It's an instant paper mache' that you can either add first, let dry and paint or add paint to it and use on the canvas.  A palette knife works well in applying the paint and clay. For this piece I only used 3 acrylic colors, white, orange and blue.
