8.5×11 in. mixed media. It would be nice to have one of the big art supplier’s stores near me so I don’t have to wait for ground shipments. That is the offset of being able to get on-line and get stuff you need but the wait can be frustrating…unless you are one of the 1-%ers that have disposable income to fuel the shipping giant UPS.
Well at least with this idle time I did create another in the series of finger works. Question: if we have ten fingers, then once I reach the 10th piece, do I keep going? or do I start on toes? This piece was going to be just a simple drawing, but I couldn’t resist…had to stretch myself and add color. Got a real nice surface texture going by spraying acrylic finish from a distance, the surface took colored pencil and crayon like sandpaper but not as harsh. So waiting for supplies isn’t a total waste … 🙂

Thanks for dropping by my blog and liking my poem The Watch…
Solid piece of art. Reminds me of the way I was fascinated by ad art when I was a child although I understood very little of the intended message. perhaps that’s the secret of fascination in general.
Very cool artwork! Thanks for the blog follow. Good luck to you in all your artistic endeavors!
This is simply beautiful. I’m so glad you liked my blog, it gave me a chance to check out yours. 🙂
This reminds me SO much of the stuff I did when I was in high school…
Love your creativity and sense of detail! 😀
Holy crow! That is gorgeous! I have a feeling I am about to get lost in your blog! I have always painted and I’m considering writing about some of my pairings.
And yet.
I’m nervous.
I’m a teacher. And a writer. I don’t want people to call me an artist because I can’t do what you do. This is magnificent. Maybe I’ll just keep looking. Or maybe I’ll decide to live fearlessly.
Nice to meet you. And thanks for the follow. I hope I don’t disappoint. 🙂 Have you ever designed book cover art?
Not since computers came out…:-)
Thanks for following my blog. I too rely on buying all my supplies online. The difficulty for me is most of the cheapest supplyers want me to buy in bulk, which I can´t afford.
I´ve just had the quickest look at some of your work, and I´ll be back later for a longer look – your work looks great and I love the colours too.
All the best.
Looks like transport-imposed deprivation enhances your creativity; that’s indeed getting more with less! Governments all seem anti-energy; that will exacerbate the costs and availability of shipping. Maybe that will extend the lives of real stores vis-a-vis buying on the Internet. Or maybe 3D printing wil grow to replace a lot of suppliers, dunno. But creative folks will create, regardless…and find ways of putting the creations in front of us. It’s part of the creativity!
Thanks for liking my blog and a recent post. Best to you.
Very lovely!
Hey Ken, thanks for the feedback on my Multi-Tool piece. As far as going for toes, that as we all know is a slippery slope. Hell, I can see my fingers, but haven’t seen my toes since the mid 80s. I dont know if they would even want to be seen never mind painted after all these years. Work into it slowly and hopefully the toes will come out of the darkness of shoes and socks and be your muse(s)…
Very psycodellic. Don’t know if you were going for that. But the work is different and definitely a conversation piece.
Thank you for following my blog. I really enjoy your work. I love the colors and emotion.
Thanks for subscribing to Box652. This is beautiful. Is it colored pencil and crayon? Or those *expensive* Copic markers? I wish I could do beautiful work like this.
IMHO, go for toes. They work so hard, and get so little credit.
UPS Ground is actually the least expensive way to ship paintings in the US at least, btw 🙂 – thanks for subscribing to my blog, Charleston Through An Artist’s Eye!
i guess i was referring to one day express or next day, but you are right UPS Ground is inexpensive…and the normal way i get my on-line stuff.
Quite wonderful; your painting and comment about waiting. Thanks for the like on my blog. Leave a comment sometime. I’d like your perspective and success ahead w/art.
Beautiful painting
So interesting.
Thank you for your ‘Like’ on my blog and also that you are following it. I too have ‘Liked’ yours and am following it with immediate effect.
Thank you for liking my blog. Love the colours in this art work!
From Japan. Thank you for following my blog.
If fingers are inspiring, you, maybe you could continue by moving on to someone else’s hands? Anyway, I love recognizable imagery, so this piece is right up my alley. It has a delightfully jittery feel: balanced, but far from static. Great color.
Appreciated your thoughts…very insightful…thanks Gabriel
I vote for mutant hands. Two thumbs and six fingers, apiece.
Also, this is another good’un! Dig that sleeve.
Start a new theme. Toes could be interesting or maybe eyes.
