Mermaid
35 mm

The "water" is gloss acrylic medium tinted with paints and sculpted with a brush. Thanks to Maya in Alabama who kindly sent me this mini!
At Marion's party, some of us painted canvases for her as well. This is my effort, titled "Mark Gothko":

Yes, it's a deliberate homage to the abstract painter Mark Rothko. I had a lot of fun painting this way, in a social setting and with wine involved. People should do this more often!
I must admit, i definately do not "get" abstract art. I do not envision the complexity, imagination nor experience of viewing and/or creating one. A complete mystery to moi. However, it is a neat painting Allison (even if i do not understand you or mark rothko!), and your miniature rules!
ReplyDeleteyou got nice greys going on that mermaid. how did you do the water?
ReplyDeleteon the abstract art... i wonder if mark rothko spent his childhood staring thru windows... :D
