Two More Experiments with Color

The Perch, 2012


The jack rabbit fresco has some uneven spots where it seems that there was more lime than sand so it resisted the pigment and the surface got some fissures. I like this effect. The mortar was just mixed and more wet than the last batch of mortar I mixed. I think I'll try some more like this. As I look at the image it reminds me of the book cover from the Velveteen Rabbit, an imaged etched in my brain from childhood.
