Started 6 studies with a ground of chromatic black and a hint of prussian blue. Black. All that comes with it too. In oil it is one of the most challenging of pigments to have in play. Given the pre-21st century nature of my studio (unheated, uncooled) there will be challenges.
There's a large canvas I brought out and dusted off and we'll see how the week ahead looks.
A friend said of the previously-posted studies, "they look old, like from the late 40's or 50's." so be it, i own it, let's move on and see what happens. these are for me, eventual canvases too big to sell now anyway. it's about authenticity, doing what is honestly within and doing it service and honor.
off to charleston next week for the night, a belated anniversary celebration. good food, drink, walking, away. looking forward to the warm week ahead and time with the girls as they reach christmas frenzy. life it good.
