I've been sick for three & a half days. I'm finally feeling better, so I decided to do some touch up work today.
First I touched up "Medieval Doors" by adding some gold highlights on the doors.
SIDEBAR: This painting has a simple "Caesar Cipher" code embedded below the door handles. Drop me a line if you decipher it. The doors are from the "Church of the Holy City" in Washington D.C. I visited this church several times while living in Annapolis. I also painted the church in "Diesel's Journey Home/Leap of Faith". I dreamed about these doors by themselves one night and this is what it looked like...sort of:)
Next I re-applied another coat of gloss finish. This time brushing it on, as opposed to spraying it on. The spray gloss is very tricky to apply. I find it easier to apply it onto small pieces. Generally 8 X 10 & smaller. It's scary good on those sizes.
After that, I decided that I needed to add "something" to "Pink Skies & Sunflowers". I decided to add a tree to give the painting more depth. I used a paint knife technique for this tree. I re-applied a coat of gloss afterwards.
PINK SKIES, YELLOW FLOWERS
FINALLY...I took the honeycombs out of this latest piece (KEY TO MY DREAMS) I've been working on, changed the pink clouds to black/white, and added the eye of ra where the honeycombs were.
BEFORE
AFTER
BELIEVE IT OR NOT: There was a cloud where the Eye of Ra is. It looked like a giant gator chomping it's way through the painting...Although I'm a Florida Gators fan...HE HAD TO GO!
PEACE OUT YA'LL!
