Going back in the evolution of styles, these three works from the earlier "Yupo days" highlight the non-porous properties of the substrate.  Liquid media stay afloat longer producing very interesting interactions and results.  Here, acrylic inks are used in conjunction with metallic watercolors to obtain unique end results.     River, Mountain, Sky                     Blue 'n' Gold                                   Shiny Object Framed at 20H x 16W                  Framed at 20H x 16W          [...]

  Happy to report "The Llama" is headed to the Florida Keys by way of Long Island!   Always a personal favorite, the work highlights the use of acrylic ink and metallic watercolors on Yupo(tm) synthetic paper.  The interaction of the liquid media on the smooth synthetic surface provide amazing results.  Future Parrot Head??
