Going through the pile I noticed a few paintings that never made it to the blog for one reason or another. This abstract was titled the Last Sequal, which is a spelling error as I was thinking of the word sequel, like a movie sequel. It was made with some leftover paints, including the sparkly MICA paint (PW20), and the very bright vanadium yellow (PY184). Who knows what I was thinking about for the title, but the colour scheme is really neat, the greenish greys work well with the purple, yellow and oranges. In other news, last fall I worked extra hours to write a number of grant applications for research, one painting that says it all is Moon over Bus, in the aptly titled blog Somebody let the Scientist out of the office to howl at the moon. That blog actually got almost 60 views which is pretty high, in fact, many of the older blogs are climbing in view count. Back to the other news, out of nine grant applications, we got three already, which is great news, and the rest of the results are still pending. Actually we just needed one, so with more than one awarded, I guess there will be some more howling at the moon down the road from time to time. The reward for doing good work is always more work.
