Thursday 27. 08. 15 Worked today on my coffee table. It is an Ikea table in some kind of bleached pseudo wood and I’ve never really liked it. I have decided to do a still life on it, a kind of trompe d’oeil of the usual clutter.

An experiment

Saturday 22. 08. 15 Because I have enjoyed drawing Le Rhônel I thought that I would try a drawing on canvas and then paint it with thin glazes allowing the drawing to show through. The above is the result. I think more experiments are in order.
