doin what i do

this week i've been doin what i do.

it's a good week.

the beginning stages of prepping a 3ftx3ft canvas for an upcoming art event where

i'll be a featured artist. i wrote out lyrics, phrases, scriptures onto the canvas with ink.

then i covered the whole thing with various colors of oil paint with my fingers

(that's what you see in the photo above). i rubbed the paint off leaving a thin layer,

 allowing the words to show through. then i brushed on various colors of 

latex house paint and let it tack up. oil and water don't mix so i was able to rub away

some of the latex paint giving it a peeling paint kind of look with the oil and words

showing from underneath. i will finish the painting during a performance that i'll do

on March 7th downtown Boise. i'll layer on images, words, objects, and acrylic paint to 

give it the final thematic look i'm goin for. i'll be painting live to a song medley. 

look for my post about it soon and i'll put up a photo of the finished painting.
