Recycled Paint
Canvas in process of being covered with 'Recycled Paint'
... at times I am inspired to do a little painting with the recycled paint, just using the spatula and selected colors. 
Bunch of canvasses and panels prepped with 'Recycled Paint' set out to dry.

Prepared "Recycled Paint" Canvasses ... ready to go!
I have been working with a new technique of recycling paint. Having never liked to throw out older [off] paint, which is just beginning to become unusable, but still fairly soft, I started scraping it onto the canvasses with a large spatula. I call it Recycling Paint. Very eco friendly! Then leave it to dry out completely and sand it back (being careful not to sand through the canvas, to give a wonderful effect to the backgrounds of my paintings. This method gives a deep aged heavy background. I don't want to use this for all my paintings, but have liked the effect it gives to some, as with the one below of Russian Garlic. Best thing about this method is that I don't have to waste paint any more.
I've painted a few larger paintings by using this method ... which I've called my "Recycled Paintings". I'll post some photos of these paintings on the blog some time down the track. They are more abstract, and I use the spatula for these as well, but have introduced figures.
The photo above is of the last lot of canvasses I prepared using the Recycled Paint method. By mixing the colors selectively straight from the palette onto the canvas, I get fabulous colors, no matter that they don't always remain those colors, it's great fun and good exercise. The top photo is a close-up of a prepped canvas using recycled paint, to show you the effect.

I love the color of the stalks, spurting out life force from the
dull beets which struggled under the earth for such a period of time
to produce the most intense and radiant deep magenta / carmine
colors that one could imagine.

SOLD
There is something sculptural and warm and loving
about a Custard Apple
They look like Gods Little Sculptures that
he made on a lazy Saturday afternoon
when all was said and done.
With great joy and abandonment
the custard apple
so needs to be painted.
They are as splendid and friendly
as a big bunch of flowers
They change shape overnight ... literally.
