So in my studio, after a few days of painting, the smell of turpentine, bees wax, linseed oil and Dammar varnish permeates the whole house. I had these paintings laying flat on the floor to dry, shut the door, turned on the fan, and left a slight crack in the window to drain out the fumes.
The next day I checked on the drying and the paint swirls. There were little flecks of paint in the lip of a curling, braking wave.
Did I do that?
I didn’t remember making those marks and on closer inspection, they were not the shape of any brushes that I had used. And they were in the middle of a flowing brush mark that I did not want to cover.
As I was removing the marks, just like a CSI agent, I stopped. I realized that they were little foot prints. One going one way and a second set going the other.
