Michael Rousseau: New Work for 2013
http://michaelrousseau.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-work-for-2013.html
The Artwork of Michael Rousseau. Saturday, January 19, 2013. New Work for 2013. Just be patient a little longer. The mental image is not the one that is always produced. Ideas come during the creation. And they continue to come after you make it and sit and think about what you did and what you can do to it. As you work you realize possibilities. Sometimes ideas reach years. And this one is still in progress - it is a test subject. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Michael Rousseau: New Show - February 7-28, 2014
http://michaelrousseau.blogspot.com/2014/02/new-show-february-7-28-2014.html
The Artwork of Michael Rousseau. Saturday, February 8, 2014. New Show - February 7-28, 2014. I have a new show opening as part of the 3rd Annual TEN SPOT show at the Lichtenstein. 10 artists were invited to show work. I recently re-worked the ol' painting Balance Rock- and decided to include it in the show. I had originally planned to include figurative works as well, but when they were installed, it just didn't gel with the rest of the show. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Michael Rousseau: November 2012
http://michaelrousseau.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Artwork of Michael Rousseau. Tuesday, November 27, 2012. They are completely experimental. They are designed to be more atmospheric and evocative rather than adhere to the realistic formalism that I've been working on. They are intended as decor. There is no "image" or subject, but I do get a strong impression of aerial landscapes and deep aquatic/neurological organisms. that's how they got their names. And here is a detail of the red ones - I call them Mission to Mars. Sunday, November 11, 2012.

The Artwork of Michael Rousseau. Monday, March 11, 2013. I'll post more as I make them. they are all mixed media. joint compound, spray paint, enamel, acrylic, epoxy. most of these are 2'x4'. I've got two more in the works. 32"x32". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I spent years teaching before I realized I needed a teacher, so I started teaching myself. I am in the midst of a serious in-depth history of oil painting and techniques. View my complete profile.

http://michaelrousseau.blogspot.com/2013/04/salon-style.html
The Artwork of Michael Rousseau. Sunday, April 28, 2013. Here comes the show. I've been working on this for over a month now. 40 pieces. This show will contain work spanning the past 4 years. Many have been in storage or taken off their stretchers and rolled up, never to be seen again. It will be hung Salon Style - meaning wall to wall - floor to ceiling - with only a few inches between each piece. Most have been dusted off, put back on the easel, and asked: "will you be in my show? It was No anyway.
