Pandemic life continues

Wanda and I took a week off at the beginning of August and did some day trips. We went camping, did a maze through a marsh in a paddle boat, visited the lost villages museum, and the ruins of St. Raphael’s church.

And then my fridge broke and I had to get a new one. Fun fact: large appliances are hard to get due to the pandemic, but I was able to get one in about 10 days. 

I made a bunch of masks.

At the start quarantine, I saw some videos about flow painting. Basically, you thin paint and then pour it once canvas. This weekend I tried it.

In the black, white, and red painting, I laid a piece of wool on the canvas and put red, gold, and white paint on the wool. Then I filled in the rest of the canvas with black and then pulled the wool off. 

The next painting was a dirty cup - you put the paint into the cup in layers, then tip the cup upside down onto the canvas and tip the canvas to help the paint spread.

The next one has the same colours as the dirty cup pour, but instead of dumping the cup upside down, I poured it out while making small circles with my hand. Again, I tilted the canvas to spread the paint. I like the lines that result from this pour.
