Better With Oil? (Unmeaning Flattery)

Sunday 08/12/2007 8:01 PM

I never posted my Watercolor Abstract #2. It was a bit of a disaster. Was watching this documentary on Mark Rothko and there was an image in the show I wanted to re-create via watercolor. The whole thing, though, was dark with a bright light. Not really suitable for watercolor. I'll scan it soon and let you see.

Well today, I went at it again — making something dark and thick in a medium generally intended for light and airy and thin and minimalistic and (most importantly) RESTRAINED work. That said, I really like my latest piece. Let me know what you think.

I think I'm going to be a lot happier doing stuff like this with acrylics or maybe even oils.

And in other news... I finally got Alex to finish his last letter to friends and family. We're planning on sending out stuff tomorrow.

Just picked this up today in Atlanta. Listening for the first time. Sounds good.
