Wonderful work! Your paintings are even more beautiful than your collages... It makes me imagine a modern day lumber jack taking in the beauty of the landscape... Wonderful feeling... :)

Comment from RUDOLPH
Nice job..... the soft colors could make this piece of artwork fit anywhere... I may have to keep my eye out for some old saw blades myself.

To use a blade for a canvas is a different idea. I like the colors and how they blend in. the waterfall is great Good job on this photo...

Very beautiful composition. The sky is breathtaking. The overall lighting is very well done. The colors are strong and vivid. The waterfall is a nice focal point.

thank you, I dry these pieces with a hair dryer (on low, and not too close). It has to have sealer put on over a base coat then layers and more sealer. The metal surface which is so slippery, first has to be sanded for adhesion, otherwise the paint will not stick. Proper "sealing" with a good varnish is imperative. Actually "mod podge" is a strong sealer, but one has to be very careful of the direction of the brushstrokes. and it is necessary for each layer to dry well.
