Untitled Mixed Media 1

 18" X 24" mixed media

Glued on cut pieces with acrylic paint

on canvas board

Rooster

 This was painted with acrylics on a 6" X 3" canvas board, which was why I had such difficulty with it 

Old collage pieces made years ago

 These are old pieces I recently rediscovered. I made them by applying some metal gears and some wooden cutouts I ordered. All work done with acrylic paints on 8" X 10" canvas boards.

Ducklings In Sun

Ducks are wooden cutouts

Sun is a metal gear

Gears

The gears in Gears are made of wooden and metal pieces I ordered 

My Rothko 1

This image was painted with acrylic paints on a 18" X 24"  canvas board.

It was shot badly with too much light in one corner.

I never liked Rothko because,  toward the end of his life, he was so depressed that he killed himself and you can see this depression in his later work, but there's no denying his genius
