Some studio pictures



These pics show the preparation of the next canvas. The steps involve cutting the canvas to fit the strecher, mounting (stretching) the canvas on the stretcher, priming the canvas with gesso (three coats), and then applying the colored foundation. All in a day's work!

Hi Erik!
Was that you doing a head stand at the bus stop?
It is something I always admired as much as people walking on their hands.
Will be looking at the painting progressing... Anna just suggested I start a blog but I hate typing...
Empty nest again....Camille is in Quito learning Quechua .
Miss you...
Hi Tamara,
Looks like you are having a good time too in the old country.
Here it is the election frenzy and I will vote for the first time!
Miss you too!
