Antler

Part of an exploration on new techniques, this painting was done without really using a paintbrush, instead using a number of objects to put down the paint. The circle on the top was done by placing a cup down and surrounding it with yellow paint, then letting it all dry. The red strip was done by putting clean water down in a strip with a foam applicator and then dropping in the pure colour, and the antler shape was done by soaking a foam antler (from a St. Patricks day party) with water and pressing it down, and then floating the green in. The colour scheme was my favorite part...the cool temperature green was the perfect foil for the warms in the background. This was done some time late in 2005. It is 11x15 ".
