Studio.....

Lately, I have been doing mostly prep work on the panels. I am trying to get a rich, deep surface, with lots of layers of paint. It is way harder than I thought it would be. I don't know why, but I am surprised every single time at how much time it takes and how much work it is.




It is easy to find landscapes in the rubbed and sanded surfaces. This can be distracting, but it's fun.



I have been gathering pictures for color and subject reference.


I like this little tableau, it's on top of the TV, so of course I see it alot.


Drawing to think--I need to to more of this.
