When A Picture...

...isn't worth a thousand words, you have to blog about it. Here, I varnished my paintings that have fully dried for a year. Not only does the layer of varnish protect a work like a removable layer of sunscreen, but it unifies the surface into a perfect matte sheen. It is when I consider a painting fully finished, and along with a fresh coat of paint for the frames, it gives me goose bumps of pure joy.


But alas, the photo does no justice. So buy one, take it home on approval, and if it isn't worth a thousand words of pure joy to you, you children, or your children's children, I'll buy it back from you (or your children, or your children's children), plus shipping!

Sometimes Things Don't Work Out...

...and you have to go to Plan B. Here is what is supposed to be a night time panoramic photograph.


Oh well. Plan B is solid, and if not, there is always Plan C. Anyone have a post hole digger???
