03 Layer Pting.

Page 1 of 8.

Painted wood layers, acrylic, flush oak frame, about four feet square.

 

This started as a faint pencil drawing, about four inches square, which went to 3-D.

 

See next photo to see 3-D layers.

 

WHERE: this one is on display in Julia's law office in Marin:

- in my book, this painting is correctly framed with a flush frame that reveals all of the edges of the image. If it had been frame with the usual, overlapping frame, it would have had wood stripping added around the edge first. the idea is that the added wood becomes the part that is lapped by the standard frame- not the edges of the painting, itself.

- and i'm not just preventing the overlap of the image- i mean to SHOW the edge: how the canvas and the paint 'arrive' at the edge. this is a natural border that is a pleasure to see.

There is also a version of this design on stretched canvas layers about 14 inches square. It was made as a prototype for the large piece, but it stands on its own feet. It is presently (Sept. 12, 2005) damaged with heat bubbles; may have to be redone.

Flickr note-

If you want to see alot of my finished work, it does not work to type 'don art' (without quotation marks) into the Search window. You get extra pages, that way.

But, "don art" (with the quotes) does work.
