New painting: done with spray paint

Here's a new painting I did a couple of days ago. It is done on a 10"x18" plywood panel. It was done completely in hardware store spray paint, about 8 colors. No preliminary drawing or sketch. Time to complete: about 10 minutes. It is ridiculously easy to do. The bottom portion is a bit washed out from light glare in this photo.
I saw a guy making this kind of painting on the street and I thought, "How hard could that be?" It's not hard, but it does take some finesse to do it well. I will paint a few more of these just to play around with the technique, and have some fun.

A new mobile: prototype

Here's a new mobile I made this weekend. This is a prototype or a test piece before I make one out of better materials. This one is about 8" high by 4" wide, made out of painted steel, with a stained maple wood base. The spiral strip pivots on a sharp point at the end of the vertical wire stand.
