Dawn - work in progress, first stage
This is the roughed in start on the 40 inch canvas - sorry it's not a good photo - there is more dark sky that my arms weren't long enough to fit in the photo. It was wet and I wasn't going to wrestle with it anymore
I'd decided to work on it in the living room as husband was safely out for the day and wouldn't know
Dropped the oil paint loaded palette on carpet, hitting curtain on way down
got paint from wrist to armpit wrangling canvas and trying to catch palette
cleaned carpet
washed curtain
had shower to remove woad painted ancient briton look
decided NOT to work in living room again
More about it and the missing sky segment here
I would have paid big money to see the blue painted you.hehehe
ReplyDeleteNice start on your painting for all that sweat equity!
oh noooo! Did he guess when he got home?
ReplyDeleteNOT a pretty sight Lindsay!
ReplyDeleteNo he never did guess Sarah! I'd evidently cleaned up well enough :>D and the curtain was dry
Planning to do more this afternoon - but NOT in the living room - maybe out in the garden
Ehehe..that's hilarious Vivien. I think it's all worth it, though. The piece looks great!

ReplyDeleteDo you think that you will ever repeat the experiment?
Thanks Maria
ReplyDeleteand scraps - I sincerely hope not! not if you mean the juggling act with paints :>D
hie hie...very funny! DID you get the room clean? And I can bet you'll do it again, a little further down the road.
ReplyDeleteNice work.

So funny! When written down as opposed to when you are in the middle of it all!
ReplyDeletefunny when written - but not whilst juggling and saying some choice words :>D
ReplyDeleteoh no! I hope not again! but you are more than likely right
