In my last blog post I mentioned starting a group of paintings and monotypes that “talk to each other” and mesh texture, graphics, color, form and space.

Monotype 30' x 22'

I’ve been working with earth tones, reds/oranges and complementary blues. The Akua soy-based inks I use for the monotypes layer beautifully like glazes in painting and really glow. I am using a variety of techniques in the paintings including some glazing, sgraffitto, addition of texture mediums and collage.
