Are We There Yet?

2020,  mixed media on linen, 48 x 72"

 Painting begins with several layers of acrylic and watercolor on linen.  I then collaged on rice paper with some abstract drawing.  I then alternated layers of drawing with layers of painting.  Some of the drawing was free form and while other times I used stencils to get a variety of line and texture.  Similarly while painting I sometimes dripped and spattered paint and picked the canvas up and let it run around, and other times would use stencils to paint.  The final layer is cold wax.
