The 10 o'clock news

This is the news hour with Brett + Lana

As for the progress on the other work....

-The teacup remains a constant adversary to our existing painting processes. This really turned into one of those paintings which seeks to challenge its maker and test whatever he or she is made from. Of course we have news for IT and IT will look great despite the challenges IT gives. None of it is all that interesting to blog about....just wait to see the photographed stages this thing has undergone.

-The Morinaga milk caramel box is virtually finished, we are just waiting for the 2nd coat of background color to dry before putting on the finishing touches. It looks very nice..photos coming ASAP.

-The dot candy, which measures a whopping 8ft by 2ft, is all completely blocked in and just today the second layer of background color has been applied and fanned out. It is important to complete that stage of the painting first for this one, as transparent shadows will have to be glazed over top of the background. Despite its size, it is a fairly simple piece to make and should be free of complication.

-The bon-bon has been varnished and is hanging in the cottage :)

-Now we take you outside to get the weather report from the ducks and bunnies. WOW its an amazing sunset, just look at those clouds, any painter can surely be reminded of the work of Joesph Mallord William Turner and Fredrick Church.
