In The Past

24″ x 36″ Mixed Media on canvas

I felt it was time to do a large painting, I’ve been fixated on the desktop art for a while, I needed to stretch out my creative arms!

“In The Past” started with acrylic, then spray paint was added, and then some pouring medium was introduced with the silver paint. That didn’t turn out the way I wanted and I almost scrapped it, but with some strategically placed asemic markings with gel sticks, and some more acrylic paint, I think it turned out quite interesting.

A bit haunting, dark and deep, full of mystery with many stories to unfold. Anyone who has ever been confined against their will, might understand where I am coming from.

    Outer limits, twilight zone, post apocalyptic sensibilities, with architectural elements and graffitiesque overtones. Tagged by Tiffiny?

      Awesome! Yes Tim, I almost called it “asylum” but Twilight Zone seems appropriate too! (I ashamedly used to graffiti before it was an art form, even tagged a New York subway once!)

        I’m happy to see your graffiti skills show in your artwork. I’ve never tagged a wall, building or bridge other than peeing on them. Does that count?

      Hi Erikka! I love that it reminds you of Nightmare before Christmas, that’s perfect!! Yeah, that ghost dog was there from the beginning, I tried not cover him up, seems like he belongs there!

      Thank you Phil! I kept my pallet to only six colors intentionally, I like the effect!

    I think on the larger size like this it has some powerful kick! Always fun to mix it up & follow your creative whim when needed, Tiffany! 😊

    Has the look of a Basquiat about it – the whirly eye and the drips look like rows of teeth.

    I really like the style of this creation. it provokes the dina donning of the imagination. the mind energetically seeks the elements -observed within this creation – in its memory to reconstruct the surrealist image.
    Bravo dear artist friend Tiff any
