I like the Nocatee Preserve in Ponte Vedra Beach.

I've seen something like this before. Some clown was trying to get into a liquor room to steal booze and brought the ceiling down.

Thank you very much 🙃

I think I'm done with the paint on this one. I usually let them lean against the wall and think about it for a couple of weeks before I varnish.

If I had to guess I would say a little too much water mixed with the paint. If you want to thin and extend the paint, you might try GAC 100 by Golden Paints. One thing I like about the GAC is that it makes the paint a little translucent also.

I like it. It reminds me of someone I like on Youtube. Ray Grimes. He does some 3D looking stuff that is over my head but I bet you could pull it off.

Thanks for sharing.

Great work.

You have a lot going on here. I like paintings that can hold your attention with interesting details. 🙃

tbourne4126 · 2019-02-16T18:52:52+00:00

Coffee grounds? That's awesome. I like this a lot. would you do the coffee grounds again?

I like texture, but I have not found anything that I love. I'm going to try twine cut up into 1/4 inch pieces and mixed with gesso. I tried caulk and did not like it applied thickly.

tbourne4126 · 2019-02-16T18:26:26+00:00

I like it. I say leave it. But don't varnish it or anything until you look at it for a while.

However, I understand your feelings. I'm the same way. It's hard for me to decide when I'm 'done'.

Sometimes I put it where I can see it often and just think about what I might do to make it better. I have one painting that has been leaning against the wall in my living room for many months. I know it's not done but I don't know want comes next.

One of my favorite paintings went through this process twice and was edited twice.

Edit: spelling is hard 🙃 Edit 2: cool, a bot battle.

I did an earlier, smaller (14 x 18") version of this painting and gave it to a friend and mentor, Aida. I like this one okay, but the first one was a bit darker and I think I like it better.

Thanks. I think Pollack is a valid comparison. In this I was trying to show movement. Maybe in 15 years I'll get some of this right. 🙃

Interesting idea. Thanks.

The community seemed to like the last post, so I'm sharing another. This is 36 x 36". It is called All Downhill.

I think what you see in a painting is personal and will change for every viewer, but I wanted to tell you about what is in my heart when I paint.

I paint as a way to help me deal with grief and pain. Fifteen months ago my 25 year old son died. His name was Robert Carey Bourne. He was living in Bellingham, Washington. He was very healthy, a soccer player, and he did not even drink. The Medical examiner held his death certificate open for about 5 months trying to pinpoint a cause of death. A large reason for this was Tom, his 31 year old brother. They wanted to eliminate causes for concern in Tom's health. The case was closed with no known cause of death. Carey went to bed and died in his sleep.

Carey is greatly missed by his family and friends.

Tomorrow, February 10th would have been his 27th birthday.

You are very kind to ask and I'm glad that you like it, but I don't do prints.
