This is one of my favorite pieces in a very long time. I love
this painting. In a way that defies explanation. It is a
gorgeous, mysterious, funny, symbolic image and I hope it will bring
a bit of comfort to some fellow odd-ball out there. I do not
want to explain this one any further than that, but I will say that
the colors and textures here are even more spectacular in person
than these scans can convey. The words in this piece read, "This is how I live." How Precarious was created..... This is primarily a palette knife painting. I built up the bottom part first and then after that dried, I painted the sky. Then I went in with brushes and painted the lines and the shape and added highlights and shadows. I used tiny detail brushes to make sure the lines were just-so and to add the words.
(The staple-free sides have been painted black. This is a digital photo. The scans above and below are more accurate.) Precarious was painted on an 8" x 10" gallery wrapped canvas. The staple-free sides have been painted black allowing you to display this piece unframed if you like. It looks beautiful hung on the wall as it is or set on a small decorative easel. Or it can be easily and affordably framed as it requires no matting or glass.

SPECIAL NOTE: This site is gigantic. And it evolved over the course of ten years and 2,000 paintings. So far as I know, this is the largest single-artist portfolio website on the internet. Very exciting, but I am a technological boob and I maintain this site all by myself. That means there are glitches here and there. Some pages are outdated. Some formatting looks out of whack on different browsers. You get the idea. I apologize if you run into problems. PLEASE email me and tell me about 'em so I can fix them. Thank you! Love to you, Melissa |
