Texture, texture and more texture...............

This is a picture of two canvases I recently completed. These are those odd-sized canvases (4 x 12) that I really enjoy working on.

The reason I photographed these, like this, is I'm going to hang one on top of the other with eye screws. I want this to be a wall-hanging of sorts and there will be about a 2" space between them.

I haven't titled these pieces, yet, I'm still thinking on it. It was very difficult to get a good, clear shot of these as there are so many textures in these pieces as well as metallic paints and bright colors. I started out with a very thick layer of gel medium, stamping into it, making texture marks with different tools, writing in it, etc. I let that dry and then started painting.

Have a happy day everyone! Love - Marilyn xxoo

These are great, Marilyn! I love texture, I always have to stop myself from touching things in museums!
I seem to have a lot of trouble getting good pictures of my work, too.
