EARLY SNOW CLOUDS AT PICURIS PUEBLO - Archival Giclee


GIVING THANKS TODAY!

"The images of peace are ephemeral. The language of peace is subtle. The reasons for peace, the definitions of peace, the very idea of peace have to be invented, and invented again.

Children, everybody, here's what to do during war: In a time of destruction, create something. A poem. A parade. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful moment."

—From THE FIFTH BOOK OF PEACE, Maxine Hong Kingston

24"x96" PEDERNAL - WORK IN PROGRESS (THE GLAZES)

8/23/11 - PEDERNAL - 24"x96" Original Oil on Belgian Linen.  Work in Progress - The Glazes.  This is a diptych - the canvases are put together now so that I can have uniform colors in the glazes between the two canvases.  I previously said I would work on these canvases separately and discovered that is not an option.  Will work with both canvases on the easel and then I can bounce the colors back and forth between the canvases for a more uniform color quality.  DC
