Queen of Clubs



Now that's more like it! Black really does complete the painting, doesn't it? When I'm done with a painting, or at least far enough along that there isn't much left to monkey with, I'll slap a few coats of gloss-cote over the canvas just to make sure the colors don't fade and the paint is protected from dust and wear. This step is done outside to keep the place from smelling like a huffers vacation home. However, the wind is ripping up and down the valley today and if I leave the painting outside to dry it will likely be airborne and heading to the next country before I can stop it. So after doing a quick once over with the spray, it's drying on the easel right now. It's not a problem unless someone lights a spark!
