Works in Progress

I have an idea for a couple new paintings.  These are about 20 x 16."  

First, I start with a drippy 2-color background in the colors I love using acrylic paints.

Then, I added some more distressed texture to the backgrounds.

Next, I hope to add some gears, cogs and straight lines to the foreground in India ink.

More coming soon (hopefully)!
