Golden Field and Great Tip.



Golden Field.

6x8in oil on canvas board     100.

I used a contemporary design to make a statement about the field.
Simple without detail. It is all about a place reduced to its basic shapes
and colors.

Artist Note.

Have I got a tip for you!

When pouring from my Gamsol can I always had to use a funnel,
and still would have drips. Look at this simple solution.
You pour with the spout at the top! Clean flow, no drips!














Those that know this already maybe rolling their eyes, but let me tell you
that all the artists I have told so far, none had known to pour this way and
neither had their family members. My husband didn't even know
about this tip. Works with any size can of this type.
We all have been pouring with the spout at the bottom - closer to the
container we are filling.

Try it this way. I got it from our handy, handy man, Bob.
Pass it on.
