Blank "Canvas"

Starting something new on the last of the untouched panels - 72"x72"

Taking a look at a variety of 72"x72" arrangements:



This one has been clamped and leaned against the back wall for a few weeks; last night some highlights started to be worked into the standing figure on the far left.

Looking for a way to add some textural and painterly contrast in some of the imagery led me to breaking out the oils and attempting to refresh myself on how to work with them. Working on a few clumps of bananas suspending from the ceiling over a period of several days. I've noticed several artists online lately that combine acrylic and oil and my thought is that there may be a way for me to use oil as a way to add a top layer to some of the pieces that provides another level of visual interest.

 Another layer of spray paint. A bit of sanding back into the surface. Below are some details.


This is another image transfer in the Ford sketchbook. It is part of the "fighter" series.

This pic shows where it was prior to last night.
