Eye of the Storm Print

This picture is minutes after the pour , so it not the final look. These paintings usually flow for about and hour or 2 depending on how deep the paint it is. As is often the case, this just eveolved from an initial idea, similar to another piece I did, but this time the river was going to be black or white or grey or NOT blue. Well somewhere along the way I decided to form an eyeball.The entire painting is poured and tilted, to achieve the composition you see. Not sure what the final will look like, but I will post it as well. I am going to continue to do some more black and whites, experimenting with velocity of paint, etc....in the very near future, creating a new collection "Black and White Pours". (I will probably make prints of this available, stay tuned for that.) Update: Sunday april 12. This painting went south fast! Bad news: I didn't Gesso the wood enough, and it dried the paint and cracked it. Good news : It looks kinda cool and the eye itself , ws very thick, and did not crack (yet!). As an effort to preserve this state, I have poured clear epoxy over the painting. Hopefully this will stabilize the current state. I will post the pre-epoxy pictures and keep you updated! Will it go into the fireplace or onto the wall ? Not sure at this time.... Update 2: After leaving the epoxy all day, it looked good at first and then ended up browning in some locations. I guess the gases from the wood leaked into the epoxy as well and caused staining. Unacceptable. Verdict : Fireplace.... I am not happy with my initial pictures, so no prints from that. But I will try to recreate the magic on a new piece. Decided to go with something new.... Pour over original Eye of the Storm painting. (I actually don't like wasting, so I don't (usually) burn in a fireplace - just a metaphor.) The result is a venomous snake, and yet the title remains relevant.
