Quiet Manner
oil on 5 x 7 inch paper
As I have mentioned before, I love working with oil on paper. These are all 5 x 7" with no border...I painted them laying flat. I used 140 lb paper which holds up nicely to the oil. The only thing I don't care for is that they are very dull when they dry, so I spray them with Kamar varnish and that really shines them up.
I have been gluing these small paper works to a firm matte board...also 5x7"... and that makes them so easy to place in a standard frame.

Since my art show Friday night, I have watched a ton of movies...I think vegging helps the recuperation process. :) We spent a lot of time with family this past weekend too. This week I am hard at work on a commission painting for someone in western U.S. It is coming along nicely and I will show it soon...I have a long way to go...it's a 30x24". It is so fun to work on big canvases! I like small too though, they are easier to store.
Tonight, the newlyweds are coming over for dinner. We love getting to spend time with them!
Have a great day whatever you are doing!!
