There were so many surprises! I'll show you part 1 of the highlights in pictures.

| I am having a moment with indigo and oil... |
 |
| Indigo and Linseed Oil: A powerfully dense and luscious combination. |
 |
| The weight of the oil pulling the pigment down the sides of the canvas. |
 |
| Indigo's close-up. |
 |
| Sweet Safflower and Milk Paint |
 |
| Our oil choices...Safflower for the gold tone pigments, and Cold Pressed Linseed for the darker pigments. After some research, we decided to relegate the stand oil to glazes only. |
 |
| The potted pigments ready to be mixed with either egg tempera or milk. As you can imagine, the first part of our week was all preparation.. |
Good news! My show, New World Currency (see last post) has been extended through April! So if you're in KC and would like to see the show or meet me in person and talk about natural color, I will be at MLB Gallery 2020 Baltimore KCMO 64108 from 6-9pm on Friday April 4. I'd love to see you there.
In the meantime, I'll be enjoying these spring showers in the studio as much as possible.
