New sign painting on scrap piece of masonite

New hand-painted ‘thank you’ sign ready to ship to a theater in NYC. I saw a show (again) recently and I wanted to show my gratitude for the experience. A thank you card of sorts, for their hard work and dedication during these covid times. So I thought… why not paint them a sign?!

Quarantined NYC: New paintings at the studio

I ran out of scrap wood so now I am painting on scrap pieces of foam core. 4 x 3” each. Enamel paint. I am keeping this work loose, spontaneous; not sure what I will do with it.
I was interested in classic circus sideshow imagery, the colors and shapes. These pieces all might ultimately be parts of a whole, like Vultron. But I’m not sure yet. Did I mention I like swirls?

New hand painted sign I made in the studio

Inspired by the comic book, Space Adventures, this sign was painted on a scrap piece of luan wood.

What I learned from this piece is that it is a good idea to first consider whether to coat the wood with a matte medium or not before painting it. This will allow the surface to be sealed and essentially, make it easier to paint. This is both good and bad. Good because of the speed factor, but bad because if you seal the wood then you lose the great texture of the woodgrain. You can see this in the letter ‘S’. After I painted it I noticed what was happening and sealed the rest of the text thinking it wouldn’t look any different. Well… now I know!
