Little Jo and the Red Moon

Having lots of my painted papers on hand often leads to serendipitous compositions, and the picture simply falls into place, as here. I added only three elements to the stenciled/painted paper to compose this piece.

Yes, "serendipitous" is the right word. I love when that happens, and it obviously did here. It is beautiful!

Art Tip: brush cleaning

As I work with acrylic medium for glue or with acrylic paints I stand my brushes in a bucket of water on my work table and give them a soap and water cleanup every day or so. But eventually my brushes get gunky and sometimes I forget to clean them. That's when I clean them with Murphy's Oil Soap. I keep an inch of MOS mixed 1:1 with water in a tall plastic tub (Feta from Costco) and put caked brushes in that solution overnight. By the next day the soap has softened the brush and with a bit of elbow grease I can get the brushes back to useable. This also works for brushes used with oil paint. I gave up using oils but wanted to save those good brushes and Murphy's Oil Soap came to the rescue. Get it at the grocery store.
