Above is my current work ‘crush’ for short.  Like I said it is 24 by 96inches, and right now not impressive.  I added the red acrylic color on Friday, and had other important matters to deal with.  I am wondering what I can do, and that is where the abstraction comes in.  In a few minutes from now I am going to turn to this painting, stare into the colors and grab some paint, and let it roll, or better yet slide.

Just a note the above picture is a snapshot. All the images on my web site www.scottvonholzen.com I photograph and take considerable time with the lighting and the final colors to be as accurate to the real as I can be….at less when viewing on my monitor.

Starting a new picture

Published on by Scott Von Holzen

Thursday night I laid the 24 by 96inch canvas on the floor and rolled  green, yellow and gold across all diluted with water.  Since I am using acrylics the drying time is short.  Waiting for it to dry I work on setting up a blog site; but the whole night there was nothing but issues.  Breaking away, I placed the canvas on my easels and began spreading different colors across the whole length looking for the right combos.  Ended with a top coat of deep red over  green.  I will upload a progress picture on monday.  Otherwise finish work is located on my web site at www.scottvonholzen.com
