Work In Progress

16″ x 20″ Spray & acrylic paint on canvas

I almost forgot to post this! The above painting titled “Work in Progress” is the piece I submitted for the Artists Cooperative of San Diego inaugural group art show in April.

The show is called “Who Are You?” (running until May 21st, 2019) and the theme of the show is basically an introduction, or an artistic representation of ourselves, our style, and in our preferred medium. My painting includes most of my preferred mediums, spray and acrylic paint, as well as some pouring medium. The only thing missing is some asemic writing!

The thought behind the title of the painting is simply that I am constantly evolving and growing as an artist and as a human, so I will always be “in progress”! Some people immediately noticed the “T” and thought it was intentional, but I honestly didn’t even see it until after it was done!

The opening reception was a blast! There are 10 featured artists in the show and each artist has 2-3 pieces on display. Torque Moto Cafe in North Park provided food and libations for the guests, and we even had live music! We had a great turn out, and it was really cool to meet so many other inspirational artists, I can’t wait for the next show!

    I like the spiky “T” over the somewhat orderly, yet chaotic background. The T is like a barrier between the viewer and the action behind it.

    Thank you Timothy! There is a lot of action going on back there, and I like to think that I have some sort of control of it all, or, perhaps none at all!

    First glance I didn’t notice the T also, but now that I do I see it as one of the supports of a tropical cabana, with a view of all the fun going on! 🙂 Nice work, Tiffany!

    Another wonderful artwork, Tiffany ~ my take is a Saguaro cactus as the sun sets and twilight begins 🙂

    What kind of spray did you use?

    Krylon or airbrush?

      Hi, thanks for visiting! I usually use Montana Black spray paints, NC formula, they make some really bold colors and most consistent spray.

        Are the paints fairly reasonable price wise?

          I would say they are moderately priced, not cheap, but quality for the cost, mid ranged
