Reubenite
12 January 2026
Acrylic on hardboard
20 x 10 inches (50.8 x 25.4 cm)
This was entirely experimental and at times quite frustrating. There was a call for art (see Reticule for more info) which was titled RAW, CONCRETE. I had a panel that was just sitting around taking space. There was a painting on it (no pictures) which is where the title comes from. I had some grout that had the color of concrete so I made the panel (and frame) take on a 'concrete' look. Even though it might be over the top, it saved the frame. It had engraved leaves on it. filling those leaves was the impetus of making everything concrete. You can see in the gif, I didn't really have good direction and was struggling a bit with a good idea. I ended up painting rocks with a night sky. Rocks because of the concrete, night sky because I enjoy them.
I was going abstract, didn't like it. Flipped it over and had an abstract humanoid.
Trashed all that and made a night sky.
