And it’s the Last day. Challenging and enjoyable.
We tend to think of Ripe as referring to young, but in England we say we also use the word in such phases say ‘he lived to a ripe old age. The drawing is of Art one of my former students. He has a magnificent face. Drawn with micro pen in orange and brown with white Jellyroll Pen for highlights.

Inktober: Day 21: treasure.
The Ponte Vecchio in Florence is not only a national treasure, but it’s filled with treasure. There are jewelers at street level and a hidden treasure at the top called The Vasari Corridor; a kilometer long passageway that connects the Uffizi Gallery to the Pitti Palace and contains hundreds of self portraits by Artists dating from the 16th to today ! It’s spectacular!

Inktober day 18: Sling. I am using the word in British manner as in ‘sling’ this over your shoulder’ . Here Hercules ‘slings’ his servant Lichas, into the air, curdling his blood into flint before he releases him into the sea. Why? Because he innocently gave Hercules a poisoned garment...
According to Ovid the Roman poet. To this day, a low crag can be seen rising from the waves
out of the deep Euboean Sea, that holds the certain outline of a human form.

A misfit ‘a person whose behavior or attitude sets them apart from others’ i think Artists might fall into this category too.

The Rococo period around 1750 was one of the most ornamental in the arts and fashion; hair grew tall and dresses wide.

Contact ASL for registration (212) 247-4510.

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
