Trying new things, always. I'm a big fan of switching up mediums to gain new perspective. Watercolor has been my go to for years now, but with the Lady Mtn series, linocut ended up being the texture I was looking for (after lots of other failed attempts). And for this canvas, it was a full return to the good ol' stash of acrylics that have been sitting idyl on the shelf for many many years. Another atypical move I'm starting to explore more right now is photo reference - this one taken @giantsheadfreeride during a lunch break. (Quick note for artists - if you use photo reference they should be your own or you need permission if you plan to sell that work - and as always, don't forget to give credit to the photographer!) Where was I? Something about changing it up - ummm... a skateboard is a medium, and they all make different lines on the same piece of pavement - this board makes some of my most favorite lines. I'll have it for sale this weekend @portlandsaturdaymarket ❤️

A blank canvas. And some very bright sneks.
