Pink Mums

This oil painting on Acid Free Linen Paper has a charming and cozy feel to it. I am kind of liking to paint on heavy paper and I will probably experiment with heavier rag watercolor stock pretty soon. Perhaps the fact that I did so many architectural drawings for so many years gives me a comfortable level when approaching a tool to an absorbent surface such as paper. It took me back to a class that I took with Mauricio Lasansky in which we actually made paper from pulp, strained it, molded it, and ran it through a press to flatten it. I was very young, in college, but I remember it being lots of fun. If I only knew then what I know now I would of challenged myself to learn more from a legend in graphics such as Lasansky.
