Cinq Cerises

Welcome to my new blog! My inaugural post is fresh off the vine! And organic too. My latest work Cinq Cerises, (Five Cherries en Francais), 6x6 inches, acrylic in 1/8" board, is an acrylic painting style I've done for many years.  Unlike my landscapes in oil, this work is more line oriented and much higher key in color. I double prime the board to get a nice brushy texture and do an underpainting of Ivory Black and Cad Red Light before  brushing layers of color on top of that, which allows the underpainting to shine through and gives the painting a nice  warm glow. One of my early galleries liked my ink resist pieces. I liked that technique too, but it's very hard to control the final result. So, I instead started painting on black gesso and the works have evolved into what you see here.  ​I hope you like it...
