Quintessence by Bill Gingles
I recently discovered Bill Gingles work. Many of his latest pieces are painted with a rich rusty palette. See more here.
Crescendo by Bill Gingles"In the studio each painting is a starting over, a tacit recognition that after thirty plus years of painting I still don’t know how to make a painting (which is different from knowing how to paint). I just know that I can. Each time the task is to find a way to give myself to the painting so the magic can happen and the painting can stir to life.
Each new painting reveals its own tendencies and surprises as it comes to life. Rather like children from the same parents, they are each at once individuals and siblings. It is because the life they share with each other is the life they drew from me." -- Bill Gingles

Has it always been this way or is it only in the last year or two that people have been going nuts over rusted metal in their art?
Rusty sculpture. Photo taken by Michael Pinto. See blog here.
I'm just as enamoured with paintings using a rusty palette as I am with rusted sculpture.
Absence of Black by David Maple . See more hereA painting I have loved ever since Mary Ann posted about it on her blog is Ancient Dashboard ..... though I get the feeling she doesn't love it as much as I do.
"I call these collage paintings, “skins”. They are rigid, yet flexible layered constructions of paper, cloth, paint, gesso, paint, ink and pencil held together with stitching, embroidery, and medium. My personal photography plays a part in the content and design of the work. I use photography to jump- start the collage, and many times the initial photography is destroyed in this layering process; only to reemerge later". -- Fran Skiles
