SQUAM STILLWATER: FIVE PINES {2}




What would happen if one combines the Japanese like elegance of native
pines with 15th Century Florentine musical ratios by way of

THE WASH



Squam Stillwater: Five Pines ( in progress)
James Aponovich
oil on canvas, 24" x 18"



The oil wash does a couple of things. First, it covers the pencil with
a thin semi-transparent coat of oil paint. It also darkens the trees so
that I can see them through the subsequent coats of paint.

By the way, after the first twenty minutes or so, 
the 'fun' is over. It's all work( albeit enjoyable) now.
