"A Study In Censorship" - Acrylic on Canvas

This came from a place that was only a sudden image.
The title only while we were putting paint to canvas (it may be a temporary title).
We've been experimenting with techniques that are foreign this year, and are pretty happy with some of the things we've learned.

So...here it is.

'Wolf At The Door' - Acrylic on Canvas

Despite there being three mistresses (paintings) in waiting...another one of three started over two years ago even, they are at the stages that, unless we are in the right "mind set", many dare not put brush to canvas...so, what to do...

Start and finish a new painting!

One day these paintings will be photographed in good lighting conditions, because in real life they actually look better...one day...one day...

'Synthesised' - Acrylic on Canvas

A couple of weeks ago a guy we met on Twitter, and then later at a Tweetup in Canada (this past June) posted a photo on Twitter. We fell in love with the composition, so asked permission to paint it. He said yes. We had a couple of other paintings to complete, but then we could wait no longer.

It turned out to be a great painting experience, despite the physical pain the last two sessions with it.

Special thanks to @synthesised for the awesome photo.

This is the completed painting, aptly named 'Synthesised':

We took several progress photos along the way, which was great because we went back to our original plan after starting to attempt detail, the previous partially done versions looking better...

'Slay The Monkey' - Acrylic on Canvas

Not the best representation (too much artificial light from the left), because we're short on patience for posting paintings when they are completed...maybe tomorrow a version will be taken with natural light and then will replace this one.

But for now, this is what you get.

This painting was actually started over two years ago, then sat, barren of fresh acrylic for over a year.

It started as a variation to this, then evolved.

It is the largest painting, to date, we have set brush to.

It was a monkey on our back, a personal beast to be slain...thus...we give you.
