This extreme closeup of a poppy is in the tradition of huge floral paintings for which Georgia O'Keefe was famous. I painted this on a cradled panel with the painting extending around to the edges. In spite of it's small size, (12 x 6 inches) it packs a lot of bang for the buck. If you have a spot that needs a little color, this will do the job.

Hi, Carol...I just "re found" your blog...so happy that I did! Spent awhile looking at your great work. Especially love the highly textured pieces.
ReplyDeleteIf I may ask, what kind of acrylic gel medium do you use?
Hi Dean,
ReplyDeleteI use Liquitex Flexible Modeling Paste on canvas, and Liquitex Modeling Paste on panels or boards (nonflexible surfaces).
BUT, I've found a product at Home Depot which is much less expensive than what you get in an art supply store. It is Elastomeric's Custom Patch. A 32 oz container is only about $8 versus $23 for the Liquitex. I've only started using this stuff, but it seems to behave in the same way as the more expensive art compound.
