Blue Pot Original Painting

This is a mixed media painting called Blue Pot. This painting is done in mixed media, oil and cold wax medium. Numerous layers were painted over a long time to achieve the depth and texture of this painting. Many blue tones have been used juxtaposed with yellow flowers for the quintessential blue and yellow pairing. The painting was further finished with a glaze providing even more depth and interest. 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.
