FAST EXPRESSION oil on panel 12 x 12
This painting was done FAST, very fast on a cheap, very cheap,(about 5.00) piece of framed art I picked up at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It's 12 x 12 with a deep frame. It is liberating to paint on any old surface and let the brush fly. Gesso a piece of cardboard or an old canvas and go...sometimes my favorite paintings happen.
Junior Kitty in her studio spot. Because the table she's on is above a heater, this is one of her favorite sleeping places in the winter. Junior is also known as Schnook. The name Schnook has evolved from a name to a noun; in that she is a schnook and cats that look like her are schnooks, it is a verb; in that she schnooks around or she's 'schnooking'. It is also an adjective in that she (or another schnook) is schnookish. And I suppose it could be an adverb too, as in "Schnooks is schnookishly schnookin'"

ReplyDeleteI love your fast paint idea and the overpainting of 'cheap art'...there are sooooo many old and odd surfaces to explore...you've got me thinking about some that I can recycle too.
ReplyDeleteSchnook looks all schnookered in for the winter....a beauty cat.
iona...its true about there being so many old and odd surfaces to explore, i have more it can work on as well. the fun of it is when i'm feeling creative or need to let loose, this is a inexpensive way to do it, yet with sometimes promising results.
