Almost done

[avram]

The seekrit painting is starting to piss me off. It’s done in a parody of a style that isn‘t mine, and that the materials I’m using aren’t really suited to, so I’m struggling with it a lot more than I’d expected. Still I ought to be able to finish it tonight, or at worst tomorrow. It’s too big to scan, so y’all don’t get to see it; sorry.

I’ve discovered a box (the one my stereo’s turntable originally came in) that’s just about the perfect size for shipping it in, so I won’t have to construct one out of foamcore. Whew!

I’ve also been learning more about the handling qualities of the paints I’m using. “Opaque” paints aren‘t nearly as much so as I’d expected, at least not on Gessobord. I don’t think I’ll be using it as a support again.
