So a quiet Friday at the studio / shop. One customer, some visitors and I kept busy. This morning I continued with the Posca pens on wood piece of the Wolf moon rise. I added a second layer of paint to all aspects and then light on pier edges and timbers. Very pleased and it …
Today included several bits of walking and looking around me noticing and some photos. I will keep these pictures towards possible forward works as they don’t fit into my current projects.
