Painting as I see it.
This easel has been with me a long time. Lately the tray has been falling after I move it. Or stuck the next time from cranking down the knob. Gregg cut a piece of sandpaper to size of the back, and adhered it with double sided tape. He sprayed the knob with silicon, for lubricating locks. I didn’t take an “after” picture, but the whole thing is back together and working smoothly. It was a small job for him, and a big help for me. Thanks, Gregg!
This is ridiculous! You’d think we were still in Chicago! I AM getting a lot of work done, but I would love to be able to drive to town when I want to.
I’ve tried painting
my driveway, not in western perspective, but flat like African art. However I’ve put the mountain in “correctly”. To get all of the snow you’d think I’d just paint it titanium white, w/ a black ribbon for the road. There was a lot of color in the River, so I tried it. Now I have to wait for it to dry enuf to add in some white hightlights. Also, the light is very different when it’s snowing, than when the sun comes out. THAW! I’ll make the rest up!

My FC studio has a propane heater and I can’t use oils when it’s lit. I got to work there today. These are two 30″ panels. I don’t know whether the doors will warp, but I put the paint on in washes. I really like the effect. I know I will put more paint on them, but maybe I can save some of the wash areas. The color is so delicate, and the panel is not.
You may not believe this, but I can see things in these photos that I miss in the studio. Since I’m using a flash it highlights things. Instead of glowing, my moon looks like it’s having a solar flare. So I know what this afternoons project it.
