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

Pictures of Montreal in the 60's

Decarie Boulevard 1961. The  Gibeau Orange Julep , also known as the Big Orange, was built by Hermas Gibeau in 1942. That building looked like  this  in the 1950s. The structure was rebuilt in the mid-1960s when the road was widened. This larger, fiberglass orange is 40 feet in diameter. The Orange Julep drink is similar to that produced by Orange Julius. Both companies developed their foamy orange drinks in the 1920s.

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end.  It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or  at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets.  Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle.  Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items.  Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
