Richard Serra and Ella and Serra's "Sequence" at Cantor Arts Center

I spent the other day with a wonderful little girl named Ella and we went to the Art Museum. I think her favorite piece was Richard Serra's "Sequence" at Cantor Arts Center.  Here's Ella's trip through the sculpture!

Another Nail in My Heart 8"x20"

"Another Nail in My Heart" oil on panel 8"x20"
Galkyd medium mixed with burnt umber paint applied with a rag.
Drawing done with burnt umber paint and a sable brush. I wiped out the lights with a rag and some paint thinner.
Galkyd and thin washy layer of main colors and values. Then I let it tack up or dry just a bit. Galkyd medium speeds the drying and makes a nice stable underpainting.
Thicker layers of paint and then working out subtle stuff with some sable brushes.
The finished painting.
