Twist of Lime Abstract update

Here's the most recent update on Twist of Lime. I haven't been able to work on it as much as I would have liked due to mandatory overtime at work. I should be done with overtime soon so I can make more progress. The color gradient is much more pronounced at this point.

Thanks for taking a look!

Twist of Lime Abstract: With Color!

I finally got time to add some lime to Twist of Lime. It's a pretty light shade. The colors will fade from very light lime green to a darker lime green on the edges.

I've been thinking about my Intense Aztec painting. The picture will be mostly earth tones, with some turquoise or teal for contrast. I'm just trying to decide how much contrast to include. I'm also trying to decide if I want to try some textured elements within the earth tone sections. Some nepheline or pumice gel might add some interest to the earthtone sections.

Thanks for looking!

Abstract Acrylic Painting: Twist of Lime - black work done

Here's the next installment for my Twist of Lime painting. Not very much lime at the moment, but that's coming soon. Now that the black has been placed, the lime will go where the white has been left.

The edges are painted to match!

Thanks for looking,

Twist of Lime update

Here's the newest update for Twist of Lime! I hope you like it.

The color will come later, though it is looking pretty good as is. We'll see how the lime color looks once I start to apply it.

Thanks for looking!

Twist of Lime in Progress

Here's what Twist of Lime looks like at the moment. I'm just filling in the dead space with black. Eventually I will get to adding the bright colors.

It's looking better than I thought as just a black and white abstract. Now I'm getting other ideas...

A few more older pics...

This picture is called Fairy of the Mushrooms. It is colored pencil on stonehenge paper and approximately 10" by 12".

This is an untitled yin yang I did as an experiment. Colored pencil on paper, approximately 10" by 10".

This is an acrylic painting on a 24" by 30" canvas. The white areas on the wings are iridescent over the background. It changes intensity depending on the lighting. It's simply called Butterfly.

I'm going to try to replicate the butterfly on a bigger canvas.

Current projects Underway:

To the left is my start on Twist of Lime. It doesn't look like much at the moment. I'll be filling in the rest of the black undercoating then adding the lime colors after.

To the right is my underpainting for The Storm II. A new version of the colored pencil drawing The Storm. As seen on a previous blog entry.

Enjoy!
