Triumph is an original oil and cold wax abstract painting on cradled board.
Triumph was created as an experiment in shape and color using a limited palette and some of my favorite colors. The tannish brown color is a coppery metallic paint which gives off a bit of shimmer in certain light. I picked the name Triumph as the abstraction, to me, has a bit of a flag-like design and I think of it as a sign of success or triumph. It has a sense of pride.
This is an oil and cold wax medium painting. It is wired and ready to hang.
Numerous layers were painted over a long time to achieve the depth and texture of this painting.
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.
