Another textured door painting started some time ago, finally brought to fruition by some creative thinking and an old stencil. I first used that yacht stencil when I was in junior school!

I thought I’d finished this in 2019, but it turns out I hadn’t. I have now (I think).

Completed using some of the billboard scraps collected in Verona as well as acrylic and crackle paste. I think I find this kind of textured painting more satisfying than any other because there’s always a little thrill at seeing some of the unexpected results of this process.

 

Billboard Scraps

 

A good haul from the old billboards of Verona. Last month on a walk round Borgo Trento, the Art Deco area of Verona, I was delighted to find a few billboards with umpteen layers of old posters ripe for the picking. When I got them home, I was a bit disappointed because they are mostly quite faded, but they’ve proven very useful as collage elements on the painting I was working on today.

Yesterday, I put the finishing touches to another painting that's hung around the studio for a long time, waiting to be finished. It was, I think one of the first, if not the first painting begun when I switched from oils to acrylics. Now to find a suitable frame so it can be shown in an exhibition.

Yesterday I moved an old painting out of the way, and found this one hidden behind it. It’s in a nice black frame and dated 2017 and although I can tell it’s been displayed somewhere, I have idea where or when. Anyway, I like it and if you do too and are interested in buying it, please get in touch..
