**Repost Two different Pollock Pastiche
And a piece done in the mid 80′s originally titled 1956
** not that I would ever put myself in a class of painter as Pollock or Picasso but we most certainly draw our passion, peace and longing from the same places.
Lovely Benjamin ~ I did not know that Pollock was from the area I live ~ YOur abstracts are stunning!
Thank you kindly
Is it even possible to do a Jackson Pollock pastiche? You’re using the same technique, but the results will depend entirely on how you move as an individual.
Good point and valid statement I just got tired of people saying oh it looks like a pollock. Which of coarse is flattering, but I’m not pollock I’m Prewitt. Close but I’m still alive.
Let me rephrase I don’t wish to be know as a painter by any other name than my own, although I have done some Miro and pollock pastiche using the same techniques as those painters. They are just additions to my own body of work.
Oh wow!!! I know a kid painting in the same technique like you.
Wonderful paintings Benjamin.
I’m not sure that’s a good thing, unless your speaking of the Pollock pieces. In that case I’m not to worried.
Yes, it’s a good thing. I have a client that paints as a hobby, and he even sometimes sells some of his paintings. But you are much much better!!!!
really love this artwork Ben!
Thank you very much I appreciate that, hope you day goes well
Truly
Benjamin
now i am in love more … your painting is the last one, no? i adore it. how big is it? it’s gorgeous gorgeous ..X
All three of them are mine. The bottom one is very old done in the 80′s. I’d have to measure but it’s probably
20 x 24. Mixed media. The top two are 24 x 36 acrylic and enamel

well, they are all beautiful… i love them and can see you in them but thought they were pollocks. you do share similar styles.. i like yours better actually tho i know little really about his work.
definitely from what i can see, i like the bottom best.
what is the enamel you used?
To be honest I have no idea, we had pints of the stuff in the garage and I found it one night while having one of my late night painting fits.
Great post and I can see the similarities in your work ~ thank you and now I understand. You live in your paintings.
I enjoyed the clip, whipping that paint around, the dog sitting off to the side and the love of smoking as he tosses the cigarette onto the ground – how times have changed and stayed the same.
I get Pollock’s thoughts and when a piece I’m painting is really coming along, I end up physically and mentally connecting with it. Makes sense?
Absolutely makes sense to me, I get involved and completely lose track of everything. I’ve mentioned it in previous posts but I often feel that the paint and I have a relationship, it’s strange I know but very much how I feel. I certainly have a connection to what I do.
Always

Love Pollack. Thanks for posting the vid.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read,view and comment. The paintings are mine, the video well you know.. I really liked the video as well. People often have asked how I feel about the type of work I do and I’ve found that Pollocks voice says it best for the both of us. Plus if I said it people would be like yeah, what ever crazy painter.
I hope your day is everything you need it to be and more.
Always
Benjamin
The people – veah, what do they know!
Well done …
Thank you.
Love Pollock and your work too !! I saw this before and was so intrigued with it. Amazing
Thank you yes this is a reposting of sorts. With many newcomers I wanted to help people understand where I’m coming from.
