From Capital Hill

Just posting a pic of the view from the window. Should have taken one yesterday when the sun was out!

Final Muskoka Chair "ChessMaster"

Taking it outside to varnish, but I'm likely not going to have time to varathane. Will have to coherse someone else into helping with this aspect.  Oh and try not to notice the messy studio area; will look at that after I come back from a few days in Ottawa.

Queen in Progress

Practically finished now, just finishing the bottom half of the queen piece on the back.

Chair is going to be late ... sigh.

But I'm working on it, I swear. Just finishing the Queen on the back now, then have to varnish. Will have to call Kathleen and ask her when I can deliver it to her ... will need that extra couple of days to finish.

Right Arm in Progress

Mighta bitten off more than anticipated, but it should look smashing when done.

Seat Finished, Starting on Back

Have finished the seat icons, and am now moving on to the Queen on the back of the chair. Actually, I might have to paint the arms now, simply to give the seat a chance to dry before painting the back of the chair.

Chair Seat Continues

Just working on the seat figures tonight.

Acrylic versus Oil

For the first time in my short history of painting, I can truly say that acrylic fails me entirely. I'm switching back to oil paints. Perhaps I am at the point where the subtle differences have morphed to major, and I feel the change as an uncompromising pain.
