Another Painting in the Bag!

Still on an incredible roll, although tonight's watercolor was not that good. Still, another painting is finished. Sure, these are watercolors: it's not like I am cranking out oil paintings (those things take forever to get done). And, the process for building an art website is rolling on as well. All this means that you will get a chance to see my work without having to come to Oakland or tracking things down in Pittsburg, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Portland, Fiddletown, or wherever else the things might be.

On a side note: watercolors smell funny. I like the smell of oils much better, and it is not that the turps make me light headed (they don't, which is good, because I have known artists who cannot work with the real thing anymore, and I have yet to find a perfect substitute. Mineral spirits work fairly well, but turpentine is much better. That orange non-toxic stuff is wretched). The best smell is encaustic. Gotta love that beeswax.
