This 6x6 is from a scene in Mexico in the Sierra Madres. I went to village by the name of Huachinera several years ago. Saturday was laundry day. As I walked through town, I saw several women scrubbing the clothes by hand and hanging them. This vine was overhanging the fence and beyond it the laundry. I tried to take photos of a woman doing her laundry, but she was really embarrased so I kept walking. Anyway, I took this picture on the sly. There were some wonderful colors in the clothes, but also the vine which I think was a gourd. I used the palette knife in the roof, some of the clothing and of course, the vine. After painting in most of the vine, I went back with the brush to define the tops of some of the fence keeping the paint thinner on the fence. Then I went back into the vine to add more highlights and depth with the palette knife. I really like using the combination of the palette knife and the brush so that I can easily get a variety of texture and edges.
I'm also working on a larger piece. I'm trying to get some work done to enter some upcoming shows. One more to finish then the apps will be ready.
