…but it’s really hard to photograph them all at once…
…and I didn’t want to kill my post-view-count by doing them individually (again)…
…so…
…not quite…
…nope…
…nearly…
….that’s it…(from the top of a step-ladder)
…almost worth making the bed for…
…(now where are those frames that I prepared earlier?)….
…(35….in case you’re wondering…there are 35 of the bloody things!)….
…loving the light green line on the green background…
…pulls the purple out perfectly…
…(alliteration before backstory)…
…(it’s the rules)…
…if it’s any consolation to long term followers of this account….
…I think I’ve passed the half way mark on these…
…(er…I think)….
… showing the daily progression of these pieces was supposed to enable me to quietly produce loads more stuff for you all to see whilst feeling no deadline pressure….
…as a stalling tactic is works admirably…..
…except that I didn’t realise that I would run low on descriptive drivel to bookend them….
…I now spend a great deal of my new found deadline-free-quiet-time trying to generate said descriptive drivel bookends….
….(mmm…descriptive drivel bookends)….
….in fours (or fives)…
…I’m going to post them all…
…finally…
…I finished this….
…(it’s 1040mm x 810mm including the bit I stained brown to look like a frame….it’s acrylic on ply…it hurts your eyes if you look at it too close for too long!)….
….started way back in 2020, this had a 2021 signature burnt onto it ( I use a pyrography tool to mark certain lines to aid re-establishing them after the bulk of the colour work has filled them in) with me thinking I’d get back on it after the sidetrack of that time….
…it was part of the “leave-night-shift” plan scuppered by long covid and further sidetracked by painting simpler things….
…filled in the signature and re-signed it last week after re blacking the burn lines…
…before….
…after…
…some detail….
…now for the rest of those half finished projects….
…there are a few and my “doing” capacity is still limited…
…(and I’m getting sidetracked again)…
….if you try this at home….
…this is how I’d expect it to proceed….
…rinse and repeat….
…don’t look up till you’ve finished them all…
…(well…maybe not all….there are 341 to choose from….how about as many as you think are aesthetically pleasing) ….
..or..
…I’m over the swatching….
…that’s all 341 colour variations of the theme that I’m going to work with…
…all hand numbered and ready choose from…
…let the choosing begin!…
…(get a cuppa…this is a long vid)…
….mmmm….choosing….
….paint-holes….
…a short documentary entitled….
…er….
…Paint-holes…
….some stills…
…of….
…paint-holes….
…(no ,paint-holes is not a notifiable disease)….
…(if paint-holes persist see a registered paint-hole professional)…
…another colour or two…
…and a different perspective…
…(not to mention mood lighting)…
Bored with a record shop.
