I was tempted to leave this as a rougher, more expressive work.
Started this painting in 2020.
It has quietly ‘stayed put’ on the easel while I work on my big roll of paper.
I see it every day. I really do need a phone with a ‘good’ camera.
Size: 40″ X 40.” Acrylic on canvas. Title: Annunciation.
After working in mostly blues for three or four years it feels good to
work with colour again.
I said ‘goodbye’ to a painting this week. Sprayed it with four sweeps of archival varnish half an hour between on a warmish day and packaged it the next. I wanted to write the title on the back but couldn’t find it. So I just started calling the painting ‘Goodbye.’
The canvases with blues I’ve done the last couple years psyched me for using blues on the 5′ X 33′ roll (scroll) of Italian paper I began in late April. That work is now 70% complete. There is no chance of forgetting the title because I rework it often. One word is Druidica.
As for Photoshop 5 and troubles with ‘scratch discs’ – if I save a simple GIF to Web & Devices at the first warning the program won’t shut down on me. But no large files and nothing tricky! So it goes.
