This was a lot of fun. The red backgound was so gorgeous it took all my courage to start splattering the blue paints and gels across it. The gels were just the right consistency and flowed like very soft butter - a very sensual experiencing creating this work. The building plaster on the bottom creates a wonderful gritty contrast to the smooth gels above. The entire work is covered in layers of polyurethane to create the smooth "behind the glass" finish. The waves on the polyurethane were created by masking off areas of the painting and spraying varnish directly onto the dry polyurethane finish. It just breaks the surface and prevents the finish from being overly glossy. I really love this painting and could sit and look at it for hours.

I'd like to see a bigger picture of the work.
