New Paintings with Heavy Texture

These last couple of weeks I have been working on a new set of paintings that have some really heavy texture on them. I used the stucco and PVA mixture but I had a tub of slightly old stucco that was starting to get a bit dry at the edges. However, I made the most of this by using the dried up pieces as big chunks in the paintings.

The paintings are based on some images that I have screenshotted from Google Earth. Nothing works better in my mind than using natural colours that you see in everyday nature. Ok so I tweaked them a bit and they are supposed to be abstract art not a reproduction of the image but I think they have come out quite well.

I have been working as a professional artist since 2006 and have sold over 600 paintings in that time. I create both textured abstract paintings and fluid acrylic paintings depending on the phase I am going through with my art! I am keen to share my techniques with others as I know there are so many artists out these looking for information like I was in the early days.
