I worked on “The Call” these past two days. It’s getting there-it’s beginning to make my eyes happy when I look at it.
On the easel 3/16/2014, painting titled The Call or Calling (haven’t decided yet)
The parts finished are the ground, pediment, water bottle, crumpled jacket, and left-hand tree.
I might change the title to simply “Calling.”
I oiled this workhorse easel on Saturday; the wheels were getting hard to move. I over did it though–I oiled the entire thing, including the central brace. So now the cross-brace doesn’t stay in place after I tighten it. My other easel is even older and less functional.
