With the ice storm almost behind us, there are still quite a few branches down and homes without power. Luckily our power got on last Friday afternoon and we have just had intermittent internet for the long weekend. As it seems that winter is almost in the past too, I decided to finish off all the paint on my winter palette and give it a good cleaning with scouring powder. Over time, the phthalo blue and quinacridone reds tend to stain the plastic palette making the mixtures harder to judge. I use VIM and toothbrush to do the cleaning. But first, all the paint had to come off, which included a whole lot of orange, brown and green. In the painting I show an abstract power grid intertwined with tree branches, and a steady drizzle of freezing rain in the background. It showed how delicate the whole thing really was.
