This is on a 24 x 24 piece of Birch wood. I have always wanted to work larger and this is the largest graffiti-like painting that I have done. It really was fun and it actually took several hours to create the layers. You have to walk away and look and think --or just walk away completely for a while. As you might notice on the top picture I decided to put that great quote by Thoreau since I already had the word,"DREAM". I am thinking that I might put this into an upcoming show in July called "Art-rageous." I think this would classify as artrageous. I am planning to paint another one and I have some crackle paste drying on that one. We'll see how it turns out. You never know until it's finished. And Bucky did his pose for you. He likes his summer hair cut.
Nice big piece Martha. Bucky's pose is perfect...so diginified!
ReplyDeleteMartha, I am amazed at how you can produce such wonderful artwork on a daily basis. Inspiration doesn't come easily to me and if I had to produce something daily, it and I would be a mess! lol
ReplyDeleteI really think you need to frame this second photo, Martha! The work of art is extended to your Bucky Baby and that door...ah! LOVE this. {And I agree with Pat. The fact that you can create the things you do, so beautifully, every day, is astounding to me.}
ReplyDeleteawww Bucky is so cute!! Your graffiti is amazing,love it,love everything about it. And I think it is artragous!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING!! Just remember that if you put that in a show, you will never see it again....cuz someone will snatch it up in a minute!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your graffiti works! I just taught my high school art class graffiti lettering and color schemes! they loved it! btw.. you dog is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly a big artrageous! I love the dripping paint! You certainly know how to put things and colors together! Bucky is also an artist! He knows how to pose! Patsy from

ReplyDeleteYour talents never cease to amaze me!!!! This piece is fabulous! I'd love to have that on my studio wall right now.

Wonderful...Bucky knows good art when he sees it, too!
ReplyDeleteSome museums could hire him as curator; he would do a great job, I'm sure.
I love it Martha. And, I know what you mean about wanting to go big. I too have started several large canvas'. There's something very different about big. I think it gives the artist more freedom. Keep at it...it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful~! I love the colors. (and Bucky is adorable, too, lol)
ReplyDeleteI love this, it's so wild and fun...you little graffiti artist. You can do it all! Aw, and Bucky is adorable!!
