happy new year (a bit late, ahem!)

Yééh, my favorite subject: alien jungles, anything goes really in these places. This was my last/first painting of 2009/2010. It's a small one, 20 x 30 cm, 2 days of fun painting with open acrylics on paper.

Translucence

This one was done in open acrylics with regular acrylics for the background, 80 X 60 cm. I had fun with the detailing this one but had some issues with the composition.
Here's a detail pic:

This small one turned out nice once a blob of paint became a head and I turned the image on it's side. Decided to use it as a header too.

I like doing these small b/w ones, they come easy somehow, a few hours work. Watercolor on paper this one, A5 size.

Another Alien Abstract

By want of a better name that's supposed to be really meaningful and such I just prefer to give them generic names like Alien Abstract # and Structure # so you don't have any preconception of what it is you're looking at.
Did this one in a paint called open acrylic which let's you play more with the drying time which for me means I get to do transparent layers on top of one another immediately but NOT having to mix my colors again every day which turned me off from acrylics for a long time.

After a big painting, like the bubblescape below (90X70 cm) I like to do something smaller ,preferably in black&white like this one (30x40 cm) which comes out much faster.

finally finished

I managed to wrap this one up and walk away from it finally, spent too much time on it really but what to do?
