I concur... I spent a great deal of time covering every inch of material with paint but at some point just let go and started working back into the surfaces. Lately, I seem to hit everything with various grades of sandpaper, steel wool, abrasive pad, or buffing compound. Granted, I love the "splatter FX" (heck I splatter, drip, and speckle) but there is just something sublime and organic about distressing. Just let go and feel it! Keep up the great work!

The platter was a study...and this is the big one.... 2x6 foot enamel and acrylic on solid wood door... should have thought the door thing through. Heavy as hell but it was free, and in my garage already...was looking for a sideshow/old portrait feel... photo is a little rough but it was 6 feet tall... now it's back to a tiki painting I've started....

Probably more so in-person and life-size! You're right about the pain in the butt part with those doors! I can't tell you how many exhibitions where i was dreading the sound of a painted door being ripped off the wall and crushing some patrons!!! Best bet is a nice sturdy easel to display that! Beautiful Job! Here's to Bigger Clysdalle Paintings!!!

Hey Dave, I think you are right, it would look pretty good with them :wink: although this time only one, not sure I could match this guy again :wink: You should check him out at the oceanside day of the dead festival in October, then you'll be hooked! Bigger is better right LLT!! you are right about an easel this thing would need a steel spike to hang on the wall..

C Clysdalle Member Carlsbad, CA Joined: Jan 27, 2006 Posts: 1010	C Clysdalle Posted posted on Mon, Jul 30, 2007 11:00 AM I've been doing research for the myths and legends swap and found some really cool ones. Here is one I did not for the swap but in addition too. I had done the ink sketch and it looked good small so I gave it a try big...5x5 big... The myth... Mares of Diomedes One of the Twelve Labours of Heracles was to steal the Mares. In one version of the story, Heracles brought Abderus, one of his many male lovers (eromenos), and some other youths to help him. They took the mares and were chased by Diomedes and his men. Heracles was not aware that the horses were kept tethered to a bronze manger because they were wild, man-eating and uncontrollable, and Heracles left Abderus in charge of them while he fought Diomedes, but Abderus was eaten. In revenge, Heracles fed Diomedes to his own horses, then founded Abdera next to the boy's tomb. In another version, Heracles stayed awake so that he didn't have his throat cut by Diomedes in the night, and cut the chains binding the horses. Having scared the horses onto the high ground of a peninsula, Heracles quickly dug a trench through the peninsula, filling it with water, thus making it an island. When Diomedes arrived, Heracles killed him with an axe (the one used to dig the trench), and fed the body to the horses. Eating made the horses calmer and Heracles took the opportunity to bind their mouths shut, and easily took them back to King Eurystheus, who dedicated the horses to Hera. In some versions, they were allowed to roam freely around Argos, having become permanently calm, but in others, Eurystheus ordered the horses taken to Olympus to be sacrificed to Zeus, but Zeus refused them, and sent wolves, lions, and bears to kill them. and now the 5'x5' painting....."Mares of Diomedes" Flesh eating horses rule...

Beautiful piece,with the movement and composition driving it forward... You can almost feel their hooves swinging and nostrils flaring! A large majority of artists these days have no grasp of history and/or especially art history,which saddens my heart! it's great that you're actually reading these old myths and translating them for our times! here's one you could tackle.... PHALARIS'S BULL(sometimes attributed to Agamemnon (sp?) a furnace shaped like a bull into which the tyrant Phalaris used to cast his victims. There was a special instrument in the mouth that would make the moans and screams of the victims into the sound of a roaring Bull... No junk food eating TV-addled contemporary brain could think up that! Pure Wicked Genius! Very Impressive my friend!
