Alright besides saying sorry for the long pause I will say Hmmm. The last color added is not as 'rosie' as it looks on the computor. It is acually tanner. The masking did not do its jib as well as it usually does but I dont think its a problem. I will say that I dont like the parts that i make splotchy with a rag before the ink dried. I wil unless greatly opposed put a similar colored wash in the back again. the bottles are outlined with a fine piont sharpie(Iam getting addicted to them( i might get more for my bday)). I am reaching for blues but cant put them in. So i wonder whats next?Hmmm.
New thought- images associated with milk. Pasted on ? Poured out ?

O.K. here is the new canvas. I picked four square ones. The image that is on them is a milk bottle in a classic type of style. I dont know what color to start with. The areas that look different in color are blocked off with rubber cement. Lets get started.

This is the latest finished painting. Just colors from inks, watercolors and sharpies. I wanted to post this one to show the direction that the new one might go in. The thing that is missing from this one is a photo graphic and letters which are usually there. I like the movment and the sharp lines. One thing that I would consider breakthrough from this one is the use of ruber cement to block out colors or whites. I think that it is well done.
