Eleven

I've added a new painting technique to my repertoire. The other day I was gonna' paint some plastic forks and adhere them to the canvas and then apply more paint on top of them to create some kind of great textural effect. But before I could do it I somehow mistakenly started using one of the forks as a paintbrush and then I noticed it created an awesome effect of its own. By using a fork instead of a paintbrush I began to feel much more free in my technique. It somehow creates the illusion of texture within the paint. It looks better in person than in pictures but here is a pic of the first painting which had the honor of benefitting from this technique. I titled it simply "Eleven."


I haven't been up to much else other than re-watching the Jackson Pollock movie and the boxed set of the HBO series Rome. And also reading Love in the Time of Cholera. :-)
