keeping busy
My cousin arrived today; am no longer master of the house *pout*
Have been in some weird creative frenzy the past couple of days. Possibly has to do with jetlag--am up every day at around 5 to 7 am, which would be fine in a country whose sunrise is 5 am, not 8. =_= So am doing the worst thing advisable when living in a closed-up winter house. Oil painting!
Now my half of the house is high with white spirit and turpentine, which I don't mind because I have discovered several fun things. One is how to create the illusion of beams of light in deep water--very easy, but delivers a striking effect. The other is that when mixed with a LOT of white spirit, the paint runs down the canvas and gives the surface a very interesting crumbly look, nice for collages. Now to hunt up my gold leaf.
Also, some icons of photos from my trip to the Philippines.
