| work in progress: 'sticks and stones' |
moving along on this painting. blocking in some color. that ghastly green glow in the center is not there... camera picked up something weird.
just finished mixing up some paint to start the skull. finishing off my coffee then getting started.
here's my palette to this point.. i haven't scraped it off because i'm using it to make sure i mix my new little piles of paint to match what i mixed previously. i've added a third one. yikes.
so... as free time allows, my husband and i have been on a mission to de-clutter and get rid of everything that we do not use.
my old studio has been turned into a much needed storage room but i still house some art supplies in it since i don't have a closet in my new studio.
slowly i've been going through my supplies and cleaning out what i will most likely not be using trying to simplify and de-clutter since i know we will be moving sometime in the next few years.
i have a listing posted on craigslist for rolls of unprimed canvas and some large stretchers and a bunch of smaller ones too plus a brand new gallon of Golden gesso. i switched over to gessobord and with my return to realism i am working much much smaller.
i will not ship these items. they are for pick up only.
details are in my listing: click here to view

Love this latest composition, Christine. It's thoroughly Shakespearian, especially with that theatrical camera-induced green glow, perhaps you should paint it in! I'll let Hamlet sign me off:
'Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite
jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a
thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is!
My gorge rises at it.'
Looking forward to the finished piece Christine.
Sorry you're not shipping though. Would have taken that canvas.
ah caroline i never thought about this having a shakespearian feel but yes... impressive shakespearian quote too!!
sorry greta... they are big... 48" wide plus with the rolls, would be heavy oversized boxes for sure.
I adore skull paintings. This one's looking good; can't wait to see it finished.
Love the Sticks and Stones piece. It's very mysterious and haunting.
