Given the smallish nature of our condo my painting location of choice is half of our dining room table. I keep a grey table cloth folded in half upon which sits my paper, paint, brushes, water and other tools of the trade. When I want to paint there I carry over an end-table lamp. Since 2020 I have mostly painted outside on location, but the abstracts and world inspired paintings have all been done on the table. Cilei also gave me a small book stand where I can place the painting du jour on display. This painting looked like musical notes sprinkled in cinnamon and paprika.

If this looks familiar its because it was the first attempt at the rainbow for the Côte d'Ivoire painting. The finished version is on the back of this one. I was just goofing around today with the paints and didn't want to use a fresh sheet of paper, so painted over the first attempt using an array of iron oxide pigments ranging from burnt sienna to caput mortum. The earth paints have a lot of potential, especially when combined with some vivid paints like in the background of this painting.
