New Paint Mosaics For The Year

A Little Paint Mosaic History

Howdy art friends! I hope thing are healthy and well for you. I've been working hard on the next series of paintings using dried up paint pieces.

In the beginning I attempted to reuse these dried paint scraps out of necessity because I was very wasteful in how I used the paint. Now the making, drying, and scraping of the pieces is part of the creative process. Each painting is made up of different color combinations that make it unique to itself.

Below is the 'Shark Eye Shell'. It was inspired by hermit crab shells that I own. The color pallet for the series is mostly whites, blues, and greens of the ocean. The affect is a colorful crusty shell that brings enjoyment to the eye.

One of the things that I have learned about this style of art for me is that it is a bit like how I see life. It can feel dried up and wasted. It takes some extra effort to scrape up what you have left to get going again. Then you find out that what you thought was a waste is actually beautiful in a special way.

Blessings
