Here's what I'm working on at the moment.

These are actually 22X36 acrylic on plexiglass.  Hope its finished by Saturday, it takes a while to paint these larger ones.

Proposal

My proposal is to create a series of images of an orchid in different stages of growth.  My first 4 are 14x14 and I will have 2 which will be 22x36 and maybe more 14x14 after I complete the 22x36 pieces.  I am using acrylic on plexiglass.  I am trying to create a bold image but one that requires the viewer to come in for a closer look at the subtle things in the work.  One reason for painting on the back of the plexiglass is so that I have only limited control over the resulting image.  I need to allow things to happen by themselves in way.  Can't wait to see how all of them look together.

Here are some more details and full images.  Some are the front of the plexi and some are the same area but where I painted on the back.  It kind of nice because there is a kind of serendipity that happens when you are painting the back and then see the front.  Some I like both sides.  I'll have to try photographing them with light behind them.  See what you think.

Some progress

I'm gonna post some details and full size but the flash is really doing a number on the photos so be warned.  These are all 14X14, acrylic on plexiglass.  Also another note, the protective film has not been removed so you are possibly seeing a little of that.  I'm not removing it yet so as to protect the plexiglass.  These are all straight painting, no transfers.

In progress

Here's another to view
