last 2 paintings of the summer



these are both about 18"x24" (mostly) acrylic and oil (mostly in glazes and the thicker areas)on paper....i don't know what to do with them yet. i was thinking about making about 10 of these, each one with the weird smoke stack thingies in them...also i have an idea to get a big panel...wood or aluminum...doing another painting on that and then kind of collaging these onto the panel with maybe epoxy or something else. is there any other way you know of that i could collage these onto something bigger? could i use matte medium or something? the paper is bristol...pretty thick. has anyone painted on aluminum before? can you put nails through it to make a wood box behind it? any advice is much appreciated...i start work soon so unfortunately my output will be decreasing a little bit now...'twas a good summer.
