Made time today to continue work on my latest piece. i am thinking of calling it "Primordial" but not sure. It is making me feel/think that it is like the birth of stars perhaps. Here are two pics. The first showing the water carrier. You can see it on the left of the 1st pic, and it has even spilled over the edge. The 2nd pic shows the paint about an hour after the pour, so it is settling down, and will start setting up within a few more hours.
The Evolution of a new plexiart piece
Here are pictures from the evolution of my newest plexiart piece, my usual format of 2'X4'. Not sure what it's going to be called yet...
I have been showing the work as a horizontal, and I'm pretty sure it will be a vertical, so have re-oriented these latest pics. I had to rip the plastic protective backing as i needed to see if what I was doing on the latest additions was acceptable, and happily, they are. Don't be confused by the towel underneath the last image here as I completely removed the rest of the plastic backing, something I don't usually do until the work is finished. And i think i have a title - "Primordial"
"Watching the River Flow" Table #2
If you can, it is well worth getting down to the Sooke Fine Arts Show, which runs July 22-Aug 1. My "River Table" is on display at this amazingly good art show. Pics here show my new style of trestle legs with the much shorter "foot". A big improvement I think. Very happy with my plexi-art inlay through the centre, gorgeously translucent with lots of "botanicals" embedded in resin, swimming in a river of colour. The live edge Alder table is listed at $3000. Canadian. Finished with Tung Oil and polished with wax. When one adds up the workmanship, artistry and finishing, let alone material costs, it's a bargain!
The last two images are close ups of my plexiart that runs through the centre of the table. It is protected under 1/4" safety glass.
