Mesh Coated Surface Acrylic Painting

I have been experimenting with my painting surface as an extension of my steel mesh sculpture. Lately I have adhered fiberglass mesh, the kind used for screen doors, to wood panels. I prime the surface with gesso after adhering the the mesh and end up with a very different support.

 This painting was inspired by shadows on the curtains in my kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This painting was inspired by the shadow across the kitchen table. It is aptly named Morning Coffee. It was recently on display at the Larimar Art Center in Palatka, Fl.

 

 

 

 

 

I have also done a number of landscapes in this style. I hope to have them displayed in this blog soon.
