Mini-owls now available

Stretched the last few Owls yesterday; White print on red, royal blue or black canvas. Material is stretched over up-cycled wood--cut to fit the graphic (9.85" x 6.75"). A few will be made in this size (5 maximum). Available here:  http://thomaswatkiss.net/studio.html

Shipped carefully with soft foam-paper over surfaces (first layer) then packaged accordingly. 

 Available in white ink on blue, red or black canvas

Size: 9.85" x 6.75"

The wood was cut to give just 1" of negative space around edge of design. People asked for smaller options. Ask and you shall receive. 

Were able to cut 5 of this size out of a former 60"x40" stretcher frame for paintings. 

Glue and clamps.

These and other owl items are available from www.thomaswatkiss.net.

Texture and 2012

Oak II and Midwest were some of the last abstracts completed in 2012.

The paintings intended to allow each color of paint to flow freely with and against each other.  With Oak II, the weight, angle and flexibility of the canvas allowed for this formation to build.   

In addition to the outcome in form, huge attention of this oversize piece is put on the details that build the surface...
