This is the latest 6x6 for the Gallery auction upcoming in May. It framed perfectly from the photograph, the old gourds. I mod podged it onto the board. Had a hard time with the air bubbles though, having to stack bricks over the print with wax paper. I am thinking perhaps a photo spray may stick the photo better to the wood. Anyhow, I gave it several top coats, giving it the appearance of canvas. You can see the brush strokes. Thanks to the color theory class recently, I was able to mix a close purple, matching the purple tint of the photograph. This would be a good method to use for a series of squares, with one 24x30 photograph cut up. The rainbow forms each morning on the floor and JT was behind, watching me as I lay upon the floor, wanting food, not rainbows or photographs.
There are twelve gourds awaiting me in the shed to paint as well. I guess I am waiting for the weather to dry out the back yard and warm things up. I do not care for all the dampness and cool when working in the acrylics. I need light, sunlight. Lately a not common commodity.
The Alligator Park Festival is upcoming this Saturday. I would like to do several 5x7's in the minimum and show them there. Price them at 10.00. Another test if you will. Folks may go through and look. Time running out, but I do everything lately with time running out.
