The Sound of Silence, 36H x 24W x 2D inches acrylics on canvas, wrapped sides painted, narrow frame – finished today. After a second application of mask medium only on the snowflakes this time, some unbleached titanium and yellow ochre brought color back to the trunks. Snowflake mask was then removed.

    Thanks all! I removed the rubberized masking fluid just after posting this [1st post] and it changed the look completely because it also removed some of the paint also.

    Ironically, I’m painting an icon next week called Holy Silence (I can’t resist “Holy Silence, Batman!”) Go to [my blog] to see it and read a great Thomas Merton quote.

    Virginia, I re-posted your blog link in the entry so it opens in another window.
