Some of the individual works -

The entire table full is done

All 55 small (4 by 6, photo size) paintings are done. Now they must be mounted on plain blocks of wood as shown below:

Still at work on the little ones

I must be nearing the midpoint - but then - I'll have to mount them all.

Still working

Gaining. Various degrees of progress.

Wall of Paul

Connie Sickler, of the Settlement House in Sylvania, PA, has an interesting basement in her place of business. There is a wall of my paintings which she calls "Wall of Paul."
Nearby is a water feature with a painted and a real breath of nature!

Also there is a tree part paint, part real and part manufactured.

Yesterday I delivered a batch of small textured paintings. Below you see the backs of the blocks of wood onto which I mount the paintings.

For some reason, I used the heart motif on many of these new paintings.

Size

Not that... Because I use pressed board to paint on (called masonite or standard board), I can cut my panels any size I want to. I have chosen 4" x 6" for my smallest paintings. I have a large craftsman table saw that has made my life much easier. It helps with my framing, too. I usually cut them from scraps of larger projects (frugal). I mount the finished panels on a block of wood which is a little larger than the painting. Unmounted examples: The commissioned three-panel painting now has a third layer of color applied - a red and brown mixture. I think that I need a fourth layer to make more contrast and to get closer to the final colors that the client has specified. The finished work should be on my next post.
