\u201cGhost\u201d (c)2012, Acrylic on Canvas, 12\u2033 x 9\u2033<\/p><\/div>\n

Groans emanate from my studio when foreign particulate–dust, cat hair(!), and such–gets in my brush or on my canvas. Depending on how visually fresh<\/em> or immediate<\/em> the stroke is dictates the tone of the groan. The higher the impact of retrieval–a greater likelihood of ruining something wonderful–the lower the pitch.<\/p>\n

This piece, however, is one of those devil-may-care \u00a0Quick Study Challenges<\/a>, and it was painted with a clean but tattered paper towel to deliberately create a crumby-canvas texture. As Wendy in my previous post “Identity<\/a>” commented, it’s liberating to try something new. I’ve actually been painting with paper towels for years, in particular circumstances but not very often.<\/p>\n

No groans for the Ghost<\/em> from me.<\/p>\n
