Oven Part 2

Oven - Part 2 (Work in Progress)

24 X 24

Ok, still not done yet, but it's coming along.  We'll see where it'll end up.

Oven Part 1

Here is a work is progress. It's been turning in my head for a while, and it's starting to come along.

My current plan (subject to change without notice) is to use the shape of an oven.  A darker square within a lighter square.  As you can see I'm still on the lighter portion, there are a copule of layers down, and I'm starting to like it.

As usual it took a while to decide on a plan.  Could have done a new life theme from the phrase "bun in the oven", and I guess the colours are sort of spring like right now.  Also thought about doing something with lots of warm cozy browns to try to capture all the yummy baked goods that come out of ovens.   But so far it's the square shapes, we'll see what happens.

Playing with Line

Thanks to everyone that came out to the George Brown Opening!  It was lots of fun, and it was great to see everyone.  

I don't know if you remember the old post I made in the winter when I was looking for colour in my world.   That one was larger (24 X 24), and I thought I'd see if it would work in other sizes.   These ones are 8 X 8.  Don't think they work as well as the larger work, but I still like them. 

Religious and April's Random Words

Ok, I didn't plan this for Easter, but the timing just worked out this way.

This piece really evolved from where it started.  I've driven past a church a few times lately that has one of those lit up red crosses.  When you drive past it at night or twilight, it's quite striking, especially since the surroundings are rather empty.

So, I started with a bold geometric red cross, but it just wasn't working.  So I let the painting sit for a few weeks while I was distracted by shows and whatnot, and then fought with it until I wrestled it into submission.  This is what I ended up with.


Ok, time for another batch of words!  Let's see what Coyote Cult has for me today.

1. doctrinal
2. oven
3. two-time
4. COLA
5. irritable

Too cute!

I went to icanhascheezburger for my cute fix and look what I found!  

It made me laugh so hard I had to post it.  Cheers!
