Latest abstract painting

This painting includes some stamped areas, but looks very different from the previous one, which also included stamping.


I'm not completely certain that this painting is finished. Sometimes it takes a while with lots of looking to decide...

Linoleum Stamp

Here is a photo of the linoleum stamp (mentioned in my previous post) that I carved during the Betsy Dillard Stroud painting workshop I attended this past week. It was carved with a small X-Acto v-shaped groover tool.
(The brown and yellow color is stain from paint. The color of the linoleum is the lighter color.)

Betsy Dillard Stroud Workshop

This painting is my first done during a workshop by Betsy Dillard Stroud. It is acrylic paint on paper. The lineolum stamp used in this work was carved during class. The soft linoleum is very easy to carve. This was my first time to use stamping in a painting and I liked the effect in this one.

[I added one small stamped section to the painting in the lower left after the original post. I think it improved the design.]
