A series of small paintings (8x8 to 12x10 inches) of my favorite models, in acrylic and mixed media on canvas or panels.

Each was inspired by a digital gesture drawing. The mixed media paintings began with a print of the drawing on thin Japanese Kozo-shi paper, applied to the canvas or panel with gel medium. I painted acrylics over the collage in layers. Several paintings also include Prismacolor pencil in the last stage.

Mixed Media Cactus Series

  • Small Mixed Media Painting: Saguaro

  • Small Mixed Media Painting: Saguaro 2
  • Small Mixed Media Painting: Polyps
  • Small Mixed Media Painting: Phactus 2

Small (6x6 to 12x16 inches) mixed media collage paintings. Each began with one or more of my Ink drawings of cactus forms and torn pieces of textured Japanese paper. Surface relief was made by carving into thick molding paste. Several layers of acrylic paint (green, red and yellow) were applied and wiped to produce variations in translucency and saturation and to enhance the relief.
