I am going to play with a new medium, White Opaque Flakes by Liquitex

Okay I fooled around a bit with the white opaque flakes and didn't really find anything special about them. I used them on a board that I was hacking around trying to get an antique feel like Mae Chevrette but I never managed to get anywhere close to how cool her paintings are. So here are the results which I am not sure if I liked. I will look to see what other artist out there are doing with them but not something that really pulled my chain.

It is hard to see but I added the opaque flakes in the bead like pieces of the chandelier and then added some irredentist medium to make them brighter 


I have been doing work at the cottage getting it ready for our vacation and here at home, purging and getting rid of things we are no longer using. It makes me so happy when I put things to the curb the day before and they get picked up. Right now I am just too lazy to drive them over to the place that recycles just about everything.

I do plan to do some new paintings and conclude a couple that have been hanging around while on vacation and I even went out to buy some new mediums......as if I need to

The next new medium to play with is Liquitex Opaque flakes, details to follow
