Apparently, one of my paintings sold at the Whatcom Art Guild Art Market over the weekend. I am so pleased, because I really hadn't expected it to sell at all. It was a piece that has gone through a few false starts and a few experimental "what ifs" ... all of which ultimately "came together," to make a fun little painting.
I started this in a workshop in which we were experimenting with various gels. I concocted and applied some Nova Lava Gel, then applied some gold leaf, which made no sense, then applied some black gesso, which made even less sense, then attached a high resolution laser print of a sketch I had done in a life drawing session, then I painted lava gel with some gold paint which really looked pretty good ... and then oops, one gold drip right smack in the middle of the painting, so I dripped gold over the whole "mountain" and the figure. All in the spirit of experimenting.
Frankly, I really liked it, but never really thought it would sell. Am so hoping the buyer will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing it!
