The Big Face at the End of the Day

End of the Day

At the end of the day I take all leftover ink on my pallet and just move it around randomly on the plexiglass I use for making Monoprints. I don’t pay attention and don’t plan on to making anything in particular. Next I print whatever appears on the Plexiglas. Then I study the marks and decide what I want to make out of it. In this example a face appeared and I went in by hand and added color over the surface to fortify what I saw. This type of painting is more instinctual more visceral than the other style of monotype that I create. The same technique was used for “The Piano Man”. ~rjm~

I was Blogged

Last month I had two gallery shows one at Emerald Art Center in Springfield, Oregon and another at the Island Park Gallery also in Springfield. I was asked by a blogger if he might take some pictures of the show and if you click here you can see the Web Log (Blog). He also has a blog called Art for the Soul with a commentary on my art.

This is one of the pictures from the blog called Travels With a Muse.
