Atomic Garden Original Painting

Atomic Garden is an original abstract painting using a limited palette. Atomic Garden was influenced by the design aesthetics from Atomic Era or Age, roughly 1940s-1960ish. It’s an aesthetic that I like very much and nods to the time of being a child in the 60s. And, yes, atomic gardening was a thing and has influenced some of the foods we eat today. This is an oil and cold wax medium painting, predominately, though a sprinkling of other media has been included. This piece was painted on a cradled board. The sides have been fully painted and there is no need for a frame. It is wired and ready to hang. I predominately use oil paint mixed with cold wax, painted in multiple layers to create my paintings. I typically include lots of textures in my paintings. I use several tools in my painting, including squeegees, chop sticks, palette knives, corrugated cardboard and other mark making items. Often, I have no notion or plan of what the painting will be when I begin. I just let the painting decide the composition and when it is complete. Sometimes it takes months or longer. Artwork is signed and dated on the back.
