Paintings: a meditation on exchange
These were done on 12" square porcelain tiles. I considered making a triptych, but wanted more experience with the drying time of these paints, first. Instead, I decided to treat them as a set. Each painting explores the concept of exchange in a different way. The keys words at the top of each image are sub-topics I noticed developing.
Tile proved an excellent medium. I'll be experimenting more and sharing my successes and failures alike. Enjoy!

Details
the details are good! the whole painting I like less
I see the nature painting in the details, random reactions of colours and liquids.
if u like that I recommend to you to try to evolve your work in that way.
they might be many ways to do so but I know "spontaneity"
train your hand and your eye to react so fast that there is not time for your mind to step in the process and create rigid structures in your paintings.
Interesting! Thanks for the input. I prefer the details, too. The paints I've been playing with have a life of their own. They're pebeo fantasy paints and so much fun. A set is about $30 but they're like 8 bucks for a single color otherwise. Ouch. In any case, the effects happen on their own and the result is always unexpected. I'd highly recommend them for playing with. I'll eventually do more and post photos of them. I'll take your advice to heart.
I'm all about evolving my work. My goal in painting is ultimately to empty my mind and be in the present moment. You're reminding me of that and it's awesome. Please feel encouraged to say more if you'd like. I can tell you know what you're talking about.
Wow, this is awesome! The energy of "hidden strings" is captivating.
I'm not sure if you already sell your artwork, but you might be interested in selling it on Peerhub.com (you can read more about it here). It is a marketplace that is focused around Steem dollars and the Steemit community. We're holding a raffle this week with a pool of 150 SD if you post an item on the site. I will also be making a weekly post highlighting newly listed items in the marketplace that could potentially help your art reach a wider audience :-)
Wow! Thanks for the information. I might just do it for fun and see what it's all about. Thank you!
Cool! Let me know if you have any questions about the site :-)
