Nurses of Pynelogs

Nurses of Pynelogs    SOLD

Still Proceeding

I added more glazes. Now the stamps become a subtle accent, hopefully not too much so. I toned down the yellow of the ground and windows because it was competing with the rest of the work. Tomorrow...the big finale.

Proceeding

I fill in areas with color and then proceed to lay glazes over them. You can see this in the right side of the middle nurses cape. This painting is already taking off in directions I didn't anticipate. Oh well, no guts...no glory.

Getting Started-- Nurses

Pynelogs is having its 95th birthday party in the coming week or so. There is an invitation out to artists to paint their interpretation of what Pynelogs means to them. I know lots of people are painting scenes of the building. I, however, am a sucker for old nurses uniforms--love the cap and tights. Because part of Pynelogs history is as a hospital, I am working from an old photo of some of the nurses that served there.

I am starting out with laying down my stamped collage bits. I will go back in with colors and glazes to make some kind of statement. This is always a learning process! Oh, and it has to be done by friday.
