James Haddock Paintings

New James Haddock paintings influenced by Carol's Granbury workshop. I love tyvek and thanks to Dee Casstevens I now have a good supply.

My version of a Rocky Mountain High.

Cruciform composition is with tyvek.

The painting is in process. I have some flaking with the Valspar crackle glaze. I guess it was either too thick or too thin. Anyone experienced this? Don't think it will matter though because I put lots of gel, layers of acrylic paint, and finally encased with epoxy.

This painting with two circles and two lines
was a learning experience. It takes lots of time, and I probably will not use lots of texture in all areas because it makes it difficult or impossible to get the lines straight. Otherwise, I love the colors.

This painting was my cut up and throw away painting but now rescued. It is covered with self leveling gel instead of epoxy. My experiment. I think it does the job too. More expensive than epoxy, but much easier to work with.

The painting uses tyvek, foil, and Valspar crackle glaze. The epoxy really pops the colors. Love, love, love the epoxy effect.
