Title: When I paint my masterpiece...
Post by: marko on June 11, 2023, 02:18:16 am

/me is listening to: 'When I Paint My Masterpiece' from 'Shadow Kingdom' by 'Bob Dylan' with JRiver Media Center 31

Whenever this pops up in my random smartlists, I think of Jim...

Hi Mark,
Thanks for asking.  Yes.  I did a lot of work on 18x24" heavy watercolor paper in April and May when I was in France.  Here's a sample.  The gallery (https://www.veroniquewantz.com/) sells them for $200.

And a picture of me opening the package I carried on the flight back.  It got heavy.

And a picture of the place where I painted most of them.  It's a 16th century farmhouse near Le Mans.

There are a couple more pictures (https://www.instagram.com/p/CsWRlcCMjO572c3gtK_z3UaIkQEy6zm-t52Q-00/) of it on Instagram, where I'm seriouspainter .

Excellent. I like your oil paintings best. The colours really pop. #976 particularly. They remind me a bit of the 'encaustic' art my mother dabbled with a few years ago...
