My favorite time to paint is early in the morning. When it is quiet and I have had my coffee.My studio is outside so I have a few steps from my house to get to it. I think there is something very intimate in the smaller works having always painted quite large. Painting usually everyday and always in the morning I have chosen the title Morning Paintings.

MONO TYPE
Have you ever done mono types? I just love doing them! You paint your subject on to a piece of glass with paint( they do have special paint for it, inks.Some one told me acrylics work but they dry too fast for me) I used oil paint. Simple subjects are best to start.
Lay a piece of pre gessoed paper over the glass and painted subject. Use a bray er to roll with pressure or a wooden spoon works too. Lift your paper and you have a print!! Very rewarding and always a surprise! Try it!!
