This was painted with a gouache underpainting, pastel overpainting – the technique I learned from Frank Federico at his IAPS workshop in New Mexico in June.
“Barn, Shed and Wildflowers”, 9x12 in., pastel over gouache on uArt 500 grit surface.
Besides finishing this painting today, we went to Racine to celebrate the 90th birthday of my Auntie Frannie – my dad’s only surviving sib. Aunt Fran is a character and story teller – fiercely loyal to her family, including me. This party honored who she is/was to all of us – her daughter, grandkids, nieces and nephews, brother, and more. My camera battery died so I couldn’t take photos, but my mental images will live on for a long time.
