Closet Aprons



Closet Aprons
8x6in oil on canvas SOLD

Artist Note.
These aprons hang in the
 closet in my
downtown studio.
 I am given them as gifts.
Many people don't realise
that bright colors can reflect
back onto the canvas
so they do not get used too much.

This is a painting I did
three years ago.
I used a new brand of
paint and a new color.
It was a magenta type
red/purple.
and the problem was
it never ever did dry 
where I had left it transparent.
Well not for almost a year.
I have never had it happen
before or since.
I threw it into the
 Haz waste-pail
to go to the dump,
but should have written
down the name.

Has anyone else
ever had this problem?
Please share.
It would be neat to know 
what to look out for.
