This painting is similar to "Squares & Squiggles" that I painted recently, only it is a more intense design, and the size is 12"x12".  It is a gallery frame (wrapped around canvas with image continued on the sides), and it is available for $48.00. I haven't decided on a name yet. Be sure to look at the other photos that accompany this article, as they show the process of creating this final product.

Jimmie/James, I think I like this one a bit better than the last one. The colors are easier on the eyes. Your work is really good (and you work fast}

That's reallly neat Jimmy. I like it the best so far!
Jimmie (Hey! Let's Gather!) Harris Apr 3, 2007, 11:04pm UTC
Thanks all! (You should see the shirt I wear when I paint, Durham!)

AM, you may call me JimJam if you wish! ;)

I'm glad you like it so much, Deb, I am still trying to decide.

Very nice - I like seeing the work in progress, too. It really helps with seeing how you got such rich colors.
Jimmie (Hey! Let's Gather!) Harris Apr 3, 2007, 11:11pm UTC
Thanks, Becca. How does my process differ from your own?

awesome

You're amazing!

Hmm - I am not so methodical as you, I guess. At least it seems so from the photos. I usually have an idea of my goal in mind, but I tend to work fairly intuitively I guess you could say. Using what color feels right or what material will accomplish the objective. Thats one of the reasons I like mixed-media so much, because when I feel a need to add in the oil pastels, I don't like to have to restrain myself, LOL!

Anyway, everyone I have met has their own processes and rituals as they work, and I say, do what works for you! How long have you been painting, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks, Melissa, I liked your comment!

Thank you as well Laura and Leah. :D

Actually, Becca, I didn't plan this painting at all! I was very intuituve about it. I just stopped to photograph some of the steps and processes that I used. Also, I worked quickly so as to not think too much about it. Thanks for your comments. You know I love your stuff! ;)

Thank you, right back at you! Well, for not planning, it turned out great! I guess maybe it just seems methodical to me, with the taping and the ruler. Either way, I really like the design sense that is evident in your work.

Thanks, Becca! "Methodical" yes! Planned, no.

That's cool Rith, thank you.

Awww, thank you Kim, I wish you did too. :D
