What I am working on now...
About 25 years ago I bought many wooden objects to paint for a Christmas shop in a chic little store. Among the items I purchased was a blank wooden plate. I gessoed and sanded it and laid out a design based upon the Giotto frescoes in the Scrovegni in Padua. I got as far as laying the cartoon (drawing) for the painting, and painting in the lapis background. I lost interest in the panel after I was unable to meet my deadline for the design firms Christmas cocktail opening. Everything else was ready save for this. Long story short - I began work on it once again about 3 weeks ago. I'm painting with a very small brush and the work is quite detailed - and it is taking awhile to finish.

Like books that wait on our shelves for just the right time these objects found you and were willing to wait patiently for you to use them.
