New Work -- Reggie Homework

This canvas came together this week, just before class. It's about 20 X 30", acrylic and inkjet transfer with calligraphy. The text is from a poem of mine, the images are random ones from the internet.

This is a smaller canvas, a companion piece, to the one above. Same materials, with gesso used for the transfer of the group of marines.


This piece, about 9 X 12", has the gesso transfer technique for the image of Michelangelo's David, and the text is lettered with Speedball nibs, gouache and mica powders. The gilding at the bottom is done with instacoll and gold leaf.
It's available in my Etsy shop
