It's been a full-calendar-year, and blogging got back-burnered until now.
This post gets back on track with a wood cut-out piece made for the Character and Narrative exhibition at Foothills Art Center. The exhibition closed at the end of October, 2019.

The process in this case was sketching, measuring (not my strong suit), and cutting out the pieces.
I like to prime the wood with a colored ground--usually terra cotta, sometimes green chrome or ochre.
The monochrome blue-grey in this case was applied from dark shadows to middle tones with highlights last.
I finished Ahab, whale, and frame with crackle glaze and burnt umber ink wash.
Thanks for re-visiting my blog :)
