Mixed Media: Speckled Blue


Mixed Media: Speckled Blue. Acrylics and oil based markers on 16" x 20" stretched canvas. 

It is no coincidence Speckled Blue has her eye on the slow cooker. 

I rarely paint this big, I had found roughly a dozen previously painted canvases, clean and reusable, on the top of the dumpster. I like to make from found stuff. And as long as the previous painter had decided to toss them out, I did not question too much painting over. The canvases varied in size from wee to grand. I got out the tub of white gesso and voila!

The second source of inspiration were the ladies in my friend A.'s backyard.
