Keen-eyed Refugee


I took a break from the acrylics and did a piece with watercolor and spray paint. This colors in this image are close, but don't exactly match the actual colors in the painting. I tried to use Photoshop to correct the colors, but I couldn't find the correct combination of effects for that to happen.

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:

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.

Torches of August

Painting by Troy Thomas: Torches of August

I finished this small painting about a week and a half ago. I went out of town for a week, so I wasn't able to post this until now.

This painting measures 14" x 11", and was painted with Liquitex Super Heavy acrylic paints on stretched canvas. The initial design sketch was created back in February or March, but I didn't start painting it until a few weeks ago. The sides of this piece is not painted, so I will need to find a frame that will compliment the colorful geometric shapes. I have titled this painting, "Torches of August".

Self Spoon Portrait

Troy Thomas art painting, watercolor, Self Spoon Portrait
This is a painting I did during my high schools years. It was done in the summer of 1990, using watercolors on watercolor paper that measures just under 15"x22". I had previously won a local art contest and the prize was some art classes. This painting was one of the products of that class. It is of a spoon with a reflection of myself in it. If you ever look at your reflection in a spoon, it is upside down. Go ahead - grab a spoon and give it a try!
