"Team work, planning, and communication were principles used in the paintings of Fluid Mechanics I and II. Working on large scale pieces, with a disease flare, means working everything out ahead of time to get a painting from start to finish. For example, it took ~2 weeks to mix the paints to the right density and consistency. The application of the paint (and getting the proper consistency), that was used in these pieces, also took time. I scheduled parts of these works, so that my friend Annette could help me with some of the fluid polymer addition, canvas board movement, and holding the heavy boards. We had a great time doing these pieces! I am never sure what will happen to the dried paint when resin and/or acrylic polymers are used, because the dried result is always a little different. Afterward, I use dilute color used in the piece, and paint some of the effects that you see. The inspiration for these pieces were the physics of fluids, and how paint itself can act as a resistant material in fluid mechanics (expansion and density). It is never a perfect process. I hope our clients will enjoy the result!"
