Painting
I’ve always loved working with wood. After retiring, I did a couple of epoxy river projects, then stumbled into acrylic paint pouring. Now I really enjoy mixing & matching acrylics, wood and epoxy (AWE!). The combination of the swirling acrylics, natural wood grain and epoxy for pop is just fascinating! Most of the wood is reclaimed from my old redwood deck, old wine boxes, anywhere I can find cool grain. The results are wall art, epoxy benches, wine box tables and shadowboxes.
Our oversized garage is my primary workplace, though I commonly take over other parts of the house if the temp isn`t right for paint or epoxy pouring. I have multiple workbenches that allow me to spread out my projects, and usually that means 5 or more individual works in process at any time. Seems like there`s always paint, glue or epoxy drying somewhere!
My work combines acrylic paint pouring (aka `liquid art`), wood working and epoxy. I do my paint pours on mostly canvas and reclaimed wood. My frames are crafted from our old redwood deck - I saved about 200 feet of the boards as well as 100 or so balusters. I clean them up then glue them together to make the larger pieces I need. It`s consistently amazing how beautiful the wood grain even after 25+ years in the harsh Colorado weather!
