Workshop Catching Up

This has been an incredible 30 days. Because of the challenge, I haven't posted any of my workshop pieces. Now is the time to try to catch up.

I started working on wood and still have some that I haven't brought to a conclusion.  This piece is on a masonite panel with a white flat smooth surface. I didn't gesso the panel after a discussion with Reuven. He suggested that I see and experience the panel as is.  Well, it was quite a struggle and in the end, I really missed the texture of the canvas. I have 2 other larger panels and thought that maybe I should try the textured side to see how I feel and how it takes the paint. I can always turn it over and gesso the smooth side.

Workshop New Life For

Today when visiting my daughter, she brought home a sculpture that my grandson, Uri 8 yrs, made. I just had to shvitz (brag) a little.  It was chosen among others to be on display at the Dept. of Education in Jerusalem.

This has many layers, I sort of lost control. Has to sit around a bit till it tells me what it needs.

At Reuven's suggestion, the masonite was not gessoed. I really missed that texture
