Six blank, new canvases; 12 new tubes of assorted neon-color acrylic paints; old & new brushes. Get the idea?!

I feel like thereâs something missing. No, itâs not painted-on mummified bugs scattered around on the canvas.
Yâall got any thoughts on this?

Nah, too many âstrandsâ. I figgered it out, part-way, at least:
The dots were made w/puffy glow-in-the-dark paint over bigger dots of superfine glitter paint.
Also on deck, a painting that was started by someone else, I have no idea when. It was in a pad of barely-used watercolor paper that Iâd gotten at an estate sale in 2004 (I think). Can you tell what was on the paper vs. what Iâve recently added?

I suspect the house is all that was there . . . . your colors are distinctive.
Do I get a gold star?

Actually, they didnât even finish the house, I had to put in the rest of the doorway, the steps, and the foundation.

Progress. I broke down and used a brush thatâs made for oil paints to do add some definition.

I finally got around to working on the hill for the Psycho stairs. I removed some of the foam to make the stairs fit better, then covered the foam with Sculptamold (a papier mâchĂŠ type product made with plaster instead of flour). I painted it with tan acrylic house paint and, while the paint was still wet, sprinkled on some ground foam thatâs used a lot in model railroad scenery.
It will need more ground foam, rocks, scrub, weeds, grave stones, etc.

Two finished & one in-progress paintings.
The contours of the Mylar sheet glued onto corrugated cardboard is what suggested the form of a species of xenomorph.

Is that last a version of the bio-thing from Alien with a bunny head?

Youâre the 2nd person to see the split in the back of the skull as bunny ears, lol. It looks to me more like a triceratops sort of arrangement.
What it is is based on the form of the sheet of mylar took when I glued it to a rough square of corrugated cardboard, where it âbubbledâ because there wasnât any glue or it didnât take on certain areas of the cardboard.
I titled it, âPsychedelic Xenomorphâ.
