AT GHOST RANCH III

At Ghost Ranch III
Acrylic with some collage of paint skins
11x15.. not matted yet


This is the third painting I did from the same photo.   I was really excited about trying out some new techniques and acrylic materials.    I had a lot of fun painting this.   It is acrylic over several pastes and gels.   There is a crackle paste across the bottom.   On the right side, it only formed a vertical mark instead of a full crackle, but I like it because it fits in as grass.  There are a lot of pieces of acrylic "gels" added to the tree and the "forest" and also along the front to help balance the design.   This one is my favorite, maybe because I had so much fun doing it.
