This is a collaboration with my daughter Nefarious: 24″x48″ acrylic on canvas.

    How do you get the exagerated raised texture on the painting? It is a plaster put on before or the actual paint?

    I just use a lot of paint. Sometimes I mix gels into the paint to emphasize this, but I haven’t done that much lately… in this painting, it’s actually thinned down a little with retardant (a polymer designed to make the paint dry more slowly).

    Charming! It looks very peaceful up in that tree, with nothing but fresh air all around … I wouldn’t mind spending some time up there myself.

  9. I love this painting. It gives me such a sweet, melancholy feeling. Definitely one of my favourites.

    *If* the dad-daughter collaboration pieces were for sale, and *if* I had some decent coin available for spending, this is what I’d buy. It’s so wideopen and lonely.

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
