Paint Failure Frames

Just some frames I am messing around with right now....Layering them with separating, dripping, peeling, aging, paint...who knows how they will eventually turn out..hopefully closer to pretty rather than ugly. These are the risks.
I'm working on pushing forward...even if I think I might ruin something. I've held back for so long out of this whole "what-if-I-make-it-worse" fear.
Failure can be a good thing...or so I keep telling myself.

Tree Gate Progress

So the gate is getting there...slowly but surely. I did some samples, playing with paint failure and oxidation and then sealed a part. I'm hoping I won't be sorry using these unorthodox methods on hot rolled steel.
Speaking of hot...this sucker heats up like a frying pan. In order to work on it, I had to get up before the sun blazed its heat upon my tree. Could only work a little at a time as it starts affecting my application process. I'm liking it though..and D likes it.
I will post some more final pics on www.rarebirdart.blogspot.com

Revamped for the Good Ol' KACC

So I'm entering one of my paintings into this member show in Kerrville...because my mom insists upon it...otherwise, I'd just let them all gather dust.

I decided I needed to push myself a bit and make one of my more recent paintings have a bit more bite to it.

I swallowed my fear and went at it. Is it better? Worse?

I'm going to go into its explanation in another post. I'm going to finally open up and spill the beans on my meanings and intentions on this one(something I typically won't do)...but for now, it means whatever you want it to mean...if you want it to mean anything at all.
