Description
“Straggly Blobs in Space” is an evocative abstract painting that captivates the viewer with its dynamic interplay of bold black brushstrokes against a stark white background. Measuring 24″ x 18″, the acrylic masterpiece draws you into its vivid world with a composition that’s as spontaneous as it is deliberate.

What truly sets this piece apart is its ever-evolving nature. The shapes of the paint blobs come alive as you study them, morphing into various objects and forms. This continuous transformation invites you to return to the painting time and again, each viewing offering fresh discoveries and insights. “Straggly Blobs in Space” embodies the enchanting power of abstraction, engaging you with its versatile shapes and vibrant rhythm.
Burnished Layering Process by Robert MacDonald
This painting utilized Robert MacDonald’s unique and captivating multi-stage process for creating fine art paintings. The process combines innovative techniques with meticulous craftsmanship, making artwork rich in texture, dimension, and visual appeal.
The Process:
- Initial Painting on Thin Paper:
The process begins with the artist painting on thin paper, allowing free-flowing creativity and dynamic expressions. Thin paper is ideal for layering colors and forms with spontaneity and precision. - Mounting on a Backing Board:
Once the painting is complete, it is carefully mounted onto a sturdy backing board. This step provides stability and prepares the piece for the next transformative stage. - Burnishing the Surface:
MacDonald then hand burnishes a faint abstract 3D design directly into the surface of the painting. This intricate process enhances the texture and introduces subtle dimensionality, adding depth and a tactile quality to the work. The burnishing creates a harmonious interplay between the painted imagery and the physical structure of the surface. - Coating with Sealer and Varnish:
The final stage involves sealing the artwork with a protective coating and varnish. This step preserves the painting for years to come and amplifies its visual impact. Depending on the chosen varnish, the finish can be matte, semi-gloss, or gloss, enhancing the artwork’s dimensional qualities.
This versatile process showcases MacDonald’s innovative approach to fine art. By expanding its application to other styles beyond abstraction, MacDonald aims to explore further the interplay between texture, dimension, and artistic expression, creating a groundbreaking new chapter in contemporary art.
