I am giving myself grace and space today.
Yes, I painted but it was a lot of preparatory work for a lot of projects.
We bought a full sheet of Luan at Home Depot the other day in preparation for the wood that goes on top of the rounds.
We had it cut into thirds, and I had Chris bring it to the studio.
Even though it is good quality wood, it must be prepped before the sepias go on it.
A layer of Kilz, then two layers of white acrylic paint.
While I was in the mood, I decided to paint the rounds I had from Hobby Lobby as they are no longer available to purchase.
The four rounds from Hobby Lobby are now going to be a part of the dimensional series.
There are two other 12-inch rounds being saved for a couple of pet portraits that are due soon.
This will clear out of the studio the Hobby Lobby frames, clearing the way for others to step up.
I've also ordered a set of trays that are five pieces that nest.
They will be a great addition to the dimensional rounds.
They also must be Kilz coated, then painted with white acrylic paint.
So, no actual painting for sale today, but a lot of painting nevertheless!
Never a dull moment around here.
We also went into the barn and painted some more of the dinosaurs.
They start out with masking tape covering the holes and holidays in the paper mache.
They are getting a coat of deep grey paint as a base for the detailing that will come later.
You can see the t-rex in the background here.
This is the velociraptor.
I'm hoping the team can paint him to look like "Blue" the raptor in the Jurassic movie that was more trained than the rest.
"Blue" after his coat of grey paint.
You can also catch a glimpse of the Pterodactyl off to the side.
We will be happy to get them to the church as they take up a LOT of room.
Lots of work, Lots of love, Lots of talent for His glory!
A different kind of painting! Latex over foam and chicken wire base with paper mache.
Size varies from 10 x 4 feet to 5x 10 feet
