This temporary squatting set-up feels third world-ish, minus the guaranteed buck at the end of the day.

Kim said...: that is looking really interesting. not the lumbar destroying posture- the painting.; December 4, 2008 at 11:56 AM
Carla said...: Thanks Kim. This painting changes dramatically in different light, from chalky and subtle lavender-grays to fairly rich browns.; December 4, 2008 at 1:04 PM
M.A.H. said...: wow, i misperceived the scale of these in previous shots. great to see the w.i.p. in situ.; December 4, 2008 at 3:04 PM
Carla said...: They also have quite a bit of variance in paint thickness and sheen, doesn't translate virtually.; December 4, 2008 at 5:09 PM
chris said...: I've used that position in some basement-located studio situations, too. Do you have a good strategy for keeping your knees out of your palette?; December 5, 2008 at 12:56 PM
Carla said...: Presuming palette is between knees, wide stance?; December 5, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Anonymous said...: I didn't realize those paintings were so big. BTW, would the closed door to the left be why there are no kitties traipsing through?

Nice Mahl stick.; December 14, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Carla said...: I'm a tad embarrased at using a mahl stick on this type of painting. It was a wet paint and sweater sleeve in paint thing.; December 15, 2008 at 9:21 AM
