Old paintings...

I cut all my old paintings up, they were on paper, and made small images. Then I put them in multi aperture mounts. I've sold 4 already.

Thanks Bev! Well, that's the thing, I don't want to cut them.

I have done some collage but I am not too much into it.

Hi Louis and DeMarie!Thanks for replying.  I am trying to free space around here, so I can remember where I cam from by images. lol Plus those were more like exercise, not really what I like to do best.... :o)

Most of them are "chunky", some of them light impasto. I am trying to take better pictures today but the light is not helping :oP

At ooen point I thought to gesso them, but I rather not sand, so I thought if someone likes them they can have them.In fact I went around trying to get info on that but everyone said not to do it...?

I better upload some pics and then ppl can see better, right?

do some texture work over top of the paintings. gary has some how to  videos about these techniques: foil, string, etc. you can also use joint compound.

I would keep some, to remind you where you came from.  Then I would paint over the rest (simply for economical reasons).  A friend of mine asked her art instructor about painting over and he said that if it is an oil painting older than 7 years, you can sand it down, gesso and use for acrylic work.  She did this a couple of years ago and her acrylic painting is still good (i.e. no peeling/flaking/cracking).

But please send pics -we would love to see them.
