Empathy Invasion

Empathy Invasion - acrylic painting by Troy Thomas; 36 inches by 48 inches on gallery wrap canvasAs I was working on this painting, I gave it the working title of "GeoAztectric" or "GeoAztecric". Just today, I realized that I had two different spellings for it. However, I didn't quite like the name for the work. Therefore, after some thought, I named this piece, "Empathy Invasion."

For this painting, I used Liquitex Super Heavy Body acrylic paints mixed with Liquitex Gloss Super Heavy Gel. The work area was a 36" X 48" gallery wrap canvas. The sides are also painted corresponding with the pattern on the front. Because this is a symmetrical design, it can be hung horizontally or vertically. Whoever buys this piece can choose which way he or she would like it hung on the wall.

Please feel free to give this link to anyone that would enjoy looking at this type of art.

Here are the specifics of this piece:
Title:   Empathy Invasion
Size:   48" X 36"
Medium:   Acrylic on canvas
Price:   $2000

Bricks

Well, I finally got some inspiration to finish my painting. It wasn't that finishing it was hard, I just need the motivation to clear out some space so I would have room to work. Once I got all the supplies out and ready to go, it only took me about an hour and a half to finish the painting. It may not look much different from the last picture I posted back in the beginning of October, but it is different. I put a thick layer of black over the black that was already there using different paint, thickness, and technique.

For the top layer of thick paint, I used Liquitex Super Heavy Body acrylic paints mixed with Liquitex Gloss Super Heavy Gel. I have yet to determine the price of this painting.

Here are the specifics:
Title:   Bricks
Size:   36" X 24"
Medium:   Acrylic on canvas
Price:   $400
