A place for everything, everything in its place (sort of)

I inaugurated my 'new' art room by painting a couple abstracts today. I was trying some new techniques I learned from an online course taught by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen. In case you're interested, check out http://thelandoflostluggage.com/new-products-1/, Layer Love 2.0. The techniques rely on the longer open time of Golden OPEN acrylics, which is useful for wet into wet blending, scraping back to old layers and monoprinting.

Both of these paintings were done over old paintings, and a little of the old paintings is showing in each case. Extra credit if you can find the originals amongst my old blog posts.

Here's what my new art room looks like now:

OK, so I didn't put everything back in its place.
