Shifting The Night - painting every day after dark

I think I am now an olds. But with good skin.
I live in the East Village.
I have two daughters, two cats and one husband.
My husband is a dread from Jamaica and speaks to all of us, cats included, in deep patois. Always.
Yuh done noh whattagwan, seen?
Marriage to an immigrant who refuses to assimilate is a constant source of amusement and inspiration.
And occasionally extreme irritation.

Ask me anything Wanna add something?

Paint your past or your future. Or your present.

Where you’ve been or where you want to go. Or where you are………

First, choose your words. Carefully.

Then charcoal rubbing. Yeah.

Transfer to the canvas.

Mix some paint, yeah?

Cool. Yeah, cool.

Go to work.

Work? Not really. More like fun.

Now, the letters.

Flat white just ain’t right.

Lush letters.

A few more rough edges to smooth out…….. some lopsided letters need a shave….

But just about ready.

3 feet by 4 feet - huge.

Want one?
