It’s donation season again, and as posted last week I did a set of paintings on puzzles for the Arts & Science Council. This week it was a similar process for Artspace in Raleigh. I was given a 12 inch square piece of plywood to do whatever, so I took the opportunity to experiment. I gessoed the board impasto with thick hills and valleys, then set it up in one of the rain machines and let it go.

Viola!

These three puzzle pictures were done for the Arts and Science Council fundraiser. They gave me three blank puzzles with that cardboard glossy surface that puzzles have. It was a challenging paper to make watercolors on, but I made it work.

The images came from some wall shots I took but never made into final pieces. They were fun to do, and they came out rather nice I thought.
