Tuesday Nov.26th

Wrestling with Black Dogs and a general overlay of dis-ease...restless and depressed. I think it's seasonal and historical but I do find that the anodyne for me is time in the studio. Finishing up a couple of large canvases and getting them off the easels, so been at the table working on paper.

"Arabesque" on Strathmore oil paper 18"x24" casein paint, oil pastels, pencil and charcoal. I would recommend "zooming" in as much as possible to see the different layers. Lots of adding and subtracting.

This was huge fun! My framer give me a piece of gator board 18"x16" and suggested "messing" with it. I used casein paint and it absorbed it like a sponge allowing me to do multiple layers. And then overlay with different pencils. "Transparent."

Wishing everyone one a wonderful Thanksgiving!
