Operating as usual
A bit very scientific test. Trying out a new surface: mirror DiBond with Oil paint. In the top area I used an old technique of rubbing garlic over the surface to help with adhesion. Apparently Rembrandt used it on copper. Beneath this I painted Varsari’s Burnt Sienna directly on to surface with out and any prep. I will do a scratch test soon to test adhesion.
Happy woman’s day! Hopefully this year we will be facing a brighter future. Thanks to all the emergency care workers and to my fellow New Yorkers in being diligent in combating this 😷 pandemic.

The frenetic dash to get it all in the taxi to take to gallery on Saturday. Thanks to @gabrielahandal for assistance.
Removing tape after varnishing. #oilonpanelpainting. I use Solivar varnish which is super shiny, so I added some Solivar Matt Varnish to it: it’s still ice rink shiny tho . I experimented on another surface adding turpentine to Solivar (1part Solivar , 1 part distilled turpentine) result - patchy at best. Ideally I would like a satin finish which is removable in the future. Gamsol is another possible option but not sure Solivar and Gamsol are comparable. The combination of the two does produce ideal varnish effect though, ie satin finish. Any ideas?
Wrapping painting to take to photographer. This is my least favorite job, so decided to play with iMovie and record the making of the envelope out of plastic, bubble wrap and glassine paper. . . . #packing #wrappingart #wrappingartist #plasticwrap #contemporarypainting #paintingonpanel
Post back ground up date. Not just fix some drawing faux pas.
Peeling off mask, I did this while the paint was wet so I could fix any hard edges.
Decided to mask off figure using very fine tape. I need to play with background a bit more.
Works in progress for upcoming show at Dacia Gallery NYC, Opening May 23rd. May18-31, 2019. Please stop by if you are in town. Call Lee for inquiries (917) 445-5243
