I've been trying to create paintings with my new-to-me texture on a smaller scale. These are my Square Footers, 12 x 12. In the first, I tried to loose my new dependence on outlining, but the work ends up more realistic than I had planned. The second paintings is a definite extension of my recent work--on a more common topic, flowers. What do you think?

I loved the expressiveness of your paintings, the colors, congratulations from chile paty
I think that both paintings are very successful, but the second is more effective in terms of a dynamic design. Your use of borders, outlines, and interesting forms is masterful!
Are these paintings in acrylic? Each has its own strengths...but I like the design of the flower painting with opaque areas...love your blog...
I think the outlining punches it up a notch, but as another selfconfessed "liner" - what can I say I love the look!
Hello Sue,
I think you described it well with "Heavy Texture". I go towards line of differing thickness for emphasis.
Recently I visited with Lloyd Turner. He works with both water colors and flat pencils for lines. It was amazing to see how much more of a story he could tell by the position of his brush and pencil.
Best regards,
Nolan
