Low Tech Retro

I was looking for some inspiration for an oil painting this morning.  I remembered the old phone that was in my childhood home for years and now sits on a bookcase in my studio.  It was my "aha" moment of the day.



I believe in waste not want not.  I scrape off "salvageable" oil paint from my palette and store in the freezer - works for me!  Get some incredible neutral grays that way too.
