Steel Pour was revisited along with the Utopia in this design, whereby I attempted to change the rules of traditional paintings.

Traditionally, Oil paintings are clean in design, hung in a frame to "match" the painting or in cases the interior design of a space where the painting will be hung. I wanted to create images where the most important part of the painting the brush strokes became the concentration.

I used Canvas, Masonite, Gesso, and a unfinished wooden frame(with store stickers in place) to create this Sculpture-painting.

I completed this Image in 2005 while I was completing my Masters Degree at Piedmont College in Demorest, GA.

This Steel Pour Design was based on my original pen & ink completed in 1991. This image differs by my application of a variety of materials and developed idea behind the image itself.
