Resurrection Gallery 6-10

So far I've used a book of thumbnails to keep up with what order these paintings came in, but this should be a handy reference. "Monkey Bar" is 12 x 16 in acrylic on plywood. This one is the first acrylic paint I'd used on a very smooth plywood.

"Clump of Iris" is 12 x 16 in acrylic on plywood. This was my fourth "botanical", you'd think I'd have learned by now. The subject matter seemed so straight forward but really turned out to be a bit of a tangle, like a bunch of irises playing Twister.











"Ssst, Toaster Versus Squid" this 12 x 16 inch in acrylic on  plywood is the first of a series of cartoons documenting the long running feud between Toaster and Squid.

"Buffalo Mao" is a 12 x 16 inch acrylic on plywood version of a 5 inch square book cover. The booklet contains definitions the 36 math symbols and descriptions of a set of 27 arithmetic blocks. To quote Buffalo Mao (a famous native american mathematician) "Power flows from the point of a pencil."

"Stormy Cacti" is 12 x 16 acrylic on plywood showing Maddy on her trampoline. The cacti are the real stars here and even they aren't particularly recognizable. The experience was very useful and I thought "huh faces aren't so hard." Uh huh, of coarse this one isn't much bigger than my thumbnail.
