Let's see some action. This is a 40" X 40" painting on board that I created in the Jackson Pollack manner. Jackson Pollack was an American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. He was well known for his unique style of drip painting.
It is quite entertaining to paint in this style, seeing where the paint flows from where I thought it might flow with my initial implementation is simply fun.
I plan to rip apart my painting and create smaller pieces that will hold individually while collectively remaining true. Actually I will cut it up using a skill saw into 5" X 7" or 8" X 10" pieces.
This is the halfway point of my 2014 plan to create a painting a day which started on January 1st. I was inspired by a artist friend who passed away in the fall last year, he and I shared studio space at Montserrat College of Art and a semester in Italy. Jim Falck was a wonderful man and a dear friend who simply told it like it was, profanities and all. I will miss him and our many phone conversations and jaunts to Celtics games!
Please follow my blog as I continue my "Painting a Day, Art Explosion 2014" and visit my website to purchase original paintings and prints of my work.
