    Thanks a lot for the comments to my last post of the blue painting :)

    This one is from 2005 and it was made using the same style and technique but it is not canvas but wood and larger than the blue (114x103cm). It is also inspired by australian aboriginal art and during the making of this one I listened a lot of australian "didjeridoo" music. The title is "My Australian Connection" and is the painting that can be seen in th eBG of my avatar :)

    I like this one, too. The colors are so vibrant, it almost hurts. :)

    This one is my favorite, so far, even though I typically like blue better than red. Thanks Juan.

    Thanks for the nice comments. I do prefer this one too and that is the reason why I decided not to sell and keep it.

    Denise: That is a very encouraging compliment :) I didn´t know that you like to paint too. Would love to see a sample of your work and I strongly encourage you to try this technique. It is really fun (especially when you have to paint with the fingers), very clean (acrylic paint is much better than oil paint in that matter), allows a lot of freedom and it is always surprising for the painter because you never realize how the work would look at the end. Acrylic paint allows you to experiment a lot with things that you have at home, producing amazing and unexpected results. In example, part of the textures in this one were created using such a simple thing like domestic transparent plastic film (you know, that kind of film that everyone has in the kitchen to protect the food in the refrigerator) to leave a print in the wet paint. But you can also try mixing the paint with carpenter´s glue, sand, textured paper or even use fruit, vegetable matter, feathers or stones to apply the paint like a brush to create different effects.
    If you want to try it just let me know and I will give you some tips and tricks. ;)

    Juan, I will definitely give this a try. I reminds me in some ways of the batik art I used to do-probably because the only tool I had was a dropper style which created lots of dots. However when the wax was ironed off it all bled together. I like working w/ acrylics mostly because I don't have the time to work w/ oils. I would love some tip and tricks;) I can't wait to try it.:)

    Amazing paintings, Juan! How long does it typically take you to do one of these?

    Julie, it is difficult to say. Sometimes a couple of months, sometimes a couple of days... it is a matter of inspiration. Some years ago, I began to work on a watercolor and in just a few days the painting progressed a lot, almost finished, but suddenly I my inspiration was lost and I stopped the painting during two year. Yeah, two years. One day, suddenly, inspiration returned and the work was finished in just a couple of days ;). Images of the making of are available at my website here (http://lazumaya.blogspot.com/2009/06...ed-turkey.html) and here (http://lazumaya.blogspot.com/2009/06...turkey_17.html)
