I accepted a challenge recently – take the textural style I have developed further. Push it to a different place. Today’s painting is the result, “Loaves.”
Loaves, 16”x30”, acrylic, $975 framed and ready to hang © 2008 Barbara Sistak BaurI used raw canvas as the major textural element, along with large brushstrokes and impasto paint. The raw canvas was cut or torn into appropriate shapes. That process left some loose strings and fraying that I decided to keep. The raw canvas shapes were adhered to the board and stuffed a bit to give them more depth. I painted on the raw canvas using a large brush. I dripped glazing on the rolls for “icing.” I like how the roughness of the canvas, raw edges and thick paint serves the subject. Plus, there is a more abstract feel. Let me know if you think this is a good direction to continue in.
Warmly,
Barbara Sistak Baur, Artist
P.S. I have done a couple of smaller paintings using this technique. Go to my Blog to see them. They should be just a one or two from the top. Or click the Bakery Art topic.
