Sign Painting Two



If you have no idea what you might want to paint on a $50, 30" x 40" gallery canvas...paint a SIGN! Geeze, what was I thinking? Mixed turp with blue and brown and outlined the lettering. Mixed some violet and painted the background. Worked on the lettering. Added flowers with a palette knife. They were too bold and overpowered the lettering. Scratched them out with the end of a brush. The thing is drying in my Studio window. Hmmm. What a way to waste an expensive canvas (luckily, I only spent $5 for it!).

The studio looks great-everything you have done really has improved the aesthetics.
