"Little Bighorns" by Kristin Jurist Haakenson

"Little Bighorns" by Kristin Jurist Haakenson
acrylic on canvas
18" x 12"
$275 + $20 shipping & handling (contact)

I decided to experiment a bit with this one. I used isopropyl alcohol to dissolve droplets of paint on the canvas; I started by using the alcohol drops just on the rocks, then expanded them to the rest of the canvas.

    You achieved a really interesting surface Kristin. I love the colours too.

    Thanks, ivana! Using the palette knife to create textured backgrounds has really helped me to be more spontaneous with my paintings.

    I visited your web site - your work is exquisite!
