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.

ya, it was a good summer for ya ner.
loved all the work and i was amazed at how prolific you were.
must be that midwestern work ethic 8).
if it were me
i would mount each piece on wood individually with a mixture of wallpaper paste and medium. then put them together somehow.
let me know if you want details...

i love the little nooks

also the grisille mountain kicks behind
i love the idea of setting off your color with neutrals.

That second painting feels like a museum installation...in a fever dream. The narrative that is unspooling in your paintings often makes me think of the dreams I wake up from.
