88 Into 89

Working with Acrylic paints under water in a single image printing technique

A detail of a larger piece titled Chopper shows how two pigments, one blue and the other yellow, break down and spread in the water bath. The effect is then captured in time in the print process.


An image can emerge and be captured by chance. The face of a snarling wolf comes to mind.

A closeup image from a piece titled Cactus. Red and Yellow were used here with the overall image implying a Cactus hot on the desert.

I refer to this image as the Russian Bear. Although showing his rump and keeping his eye to the frame his back is exploding. This image was created before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
