"Dragon Skin," by Connie Kleinjans

Dragon Skin

mixed media and acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

The title for this piece came from Guy Magallanes, an extraordinary watercolorist I have the privilege to know. When I showed it to him, he looked at the texture and the iridescence and said it looked like dragon skin. The description stuck with me. I figured there was a reason, and it became the title of the piece.

Connie Kleinjans: "Spirsa," acrylic, 24x18"

Spirsa

24x18"
acrylic and mixed media

I did this one as a demo for a workshop I taught. The mixed media includes stucco patch as well as drywall tape. The first step in the process is to work intuitively and see what arises. Then I go in and refine it: Eliminate distractions, reinforce the focal point and so on. This can be really hard, since you often fall in love with some small element. But it's about choices, and about the dialogue.
