Water Work
This is a new painting from my "Water" series, 30" x 40". The rust is a beautiful metallic copper that shimmers when you see it in person.

Hi Anonymous,
This painting was done in many layers. The first few layers are lifted paint -- where I press something into the paint while it's still wet. On top of that are some silver "bubbles" -- dots made with a yorker bottle, and washed off with the hose before they're completely dry. That gives the outline of dots, or circles. Then there's a blue-green glaze on top of that. The top layer is a red-copper metallic paint, and I threw it onto the canvas to give the spontaneous splash look of water.
