Small still life, "Bottled up" Claudia Hammer 6" x 6" oil on canvas




For those of you that are having trouble with overlapping type when viewing this blog it might be that you are using internet explorer or it might be you have recently changed your type size setting.  I am looking into this problem and will keep you informed  and will post all new information on the next blog.      

I have been getting frustrated with the smooth surface of the Ampersand gesso board lately.   It has to be my board or my brushes or something else other than my painting, right?     So I glued some primed canvas to a few of the boards.   It probably could use a fresh coat of gesso but I find that the paint went on drier and I was less inclined to leave the base color show through.   I think it turned out ok despite all the trouble.
