Painting process (old versions and new)

acrylic paintings, contemporary art, female artist, feminist art, figurative art, portraits of women

Perhaps because winter is coming, time to hunker down, I’ve been particularly keen on revisiting paintings, never quite content.

Some old versions, and new. Subtle changes, hmmm.

Superstore, Bouquet, Master Builder – new paintings

acrylic paintings, art, contemporary art, female artist, figurative art, realist art

I call the one painting “Superstore” because I bought a cheap canvas print from a superstore and painted over it. I’ll be doing a larger version of the central image. Meanwhile, the shiny black paint — fresh paint from today — may or may not go matte…

A painting dare

acrylic paintings, art, contemporary, contemporary art, female artist, figurative art, male portraits, political art

What to say about this painting…  I’m aiming for substance that isn’t substantial, a body that is more molecular than flesh.
