This was going a Marilyn Monroe painting, hence the images of her all around the edge of the frame.
Something went wrong so I spray over it & did it again, but the Monroe stencil just didn't work with the back ground. So I just changed the stencil & this happen.

Little doodles

 ZEROPAINTER
 It has been several days since my last confession.............
To my shame I had neglected some small canvases I painted some years ago, mainly because I thought they were rubbish! If paintings hang around too long they tend to get painted over, which adds to the multi layer effect of much of my work. I'll always leave traces of the original image to create a layered visual history.

First 4 small boxed canvas 15x15cm, last one 13x17cm.
(please click to enlarge to see full set)
 So I thought I'd share these with you, they were laying around and I thought "they could benefit from a stencil!".

This one I almost stenciled and then bottled it.
I like this one.
  
21x17.5 boxed canvas. Acrylic & water transfer.












So at the moment I'm getting some more stencils cut as the ones I've been using are about to expire (I'm bored of them!) and I'm working on the larger canvases to get back painting rather than just stenciling, and working hard to get the book together, If you are interested please let me know asap.(more details on the BLOG below or please contact me). Not forget those bargains on EBAY, there are a few on at the moment.

One more note, I've had some enquires for paintings that have already been sold and obliviously they have been disappointed. With the stencils I can  re-produce a similar painting, still original but using the same stencil, So if there is any bespoke work you want or ideas floating about in your head, drop me a line and we can look at some ideas.

Many thanks
