Steel Pour

In 1989 I created this Image along with several other pen & inks after purchasing a set of inks. My idea of the steel pour came from the arrangement of angles and how liquids flow.

I have always liked the combination of complimentary colors Blue and Orange and found the contrast to support my idea of Molten hot metal in a cool container. My arrangement with the anlges came from my back ground in Drafting and Art in High School.

Since 1989 I have created two other images based upon this one. Both are created in oils and are larger in scale. These two newer images were created in 2005 during my Master of Art Education Degree. My focus for these two completed paintings were to re-visit successful images made previously in my career, but to then apply knowledge and experience I had learned since then.

One variation to this original is that I placed more time in the application of color theme, and story behind the image. I also used a variety of materials for the other two images.
