...I was prepping a couple of canvases last night, black and blue background stuff, and I got the bright idea to do some lighter blue spattering for stars and such. So I loaded my brush with diluted paint, poised it over the canvas, and tapped it with a screwdriver...usually this works very nicely except for this time:
1: the brush was too saturated, and
2: I hit it *too hard!*
The kickback was pretty damn impressive, and I caught most of it in the face and neck. (Okay, some made it to the canvas.) I mopped up the stuff that was too exuberant on the canvas and admired my new bright *blue* freckles in the mirror as I scrubbed the stuff off. I looked like I'd been attacked by a renegade Smurf.
I did finish prepping the canvases...if you call, "Giving it up for the night and reading comic books" finishing:)
Oh, BTW...Dammit, I'm, *IT!* again!!! Ilona FAXED me!!! Sneaky wench. Well, I'll fix her little red wagon, just you wait...
Ms Eff, full of schemes and dreams and happily uncovered with paint.
