Acrylic Paintings
These are a few of the several hundred acrylic paintings I have created. I have done many on paper and those usually end up shaped. The following are all on canvas.

The true origins of this style of painting are from my days as a Paint Chemist working at Cook Paint and Varnish in North Kansas City, Missouri, back in the '80s. One of my favorite occupations was pouring out all the old, bad, expired samples the lab had made in the past year. Paints of all colors, poured into a metal can, created beautiful new colors and patterns.

One of the problems with this system of sizing is, although it looks good, it's very deceiving in regard to size. The painting on the left below is rather small. The painting on the right is rather large. But on the web they are sized the same.

The following cut and layered paintings are very amazing. I have a hard time believing that I actually did them. The dimensional quality is very
striking. The photographs don't do them justice.

I have had a hard time parting with some of my paintings.
Each one is unique and spectacular. This wet-on-wet style of painting sounds easy to do but it
is actually very difficult to do well. Regardless, it is exceptionally fun.
