sienna cat


The curled sleeping cat provides a constant form for my main goal--stroking on a variety of paint to see how they flow and mix.

Chaucer is always glad to provide that modeling service.

I've learned that the term for putting all the colors on in one session, instead of repeated layers of glazing and drying, is "direct painting." The one thing I learn from reading about painting is how to categorize and label my methods for those who take painting classes.

I'm a fan of classes for most things (working in a College, after all), but for me, not painting.
