The thank you


P painted a thank you note for my parents for his Florida vacation. My mom enjoys birds and P included her fave titmouse (or was it the nuthatch? Mom?) alongside his lovely drip paintings. The paint is so thick on these it takes a full week for them to dry. And of course the originally colorful but oh so cheap washable paint dries to one big brown blob (which killllls me). I've seriously considered nice acrylics and large plastic sheets and then I remember the direction bean and flour experiments inevitably go. Anyway, I'm posting it here so that when my mom gets a painting that looks like smooshed shit she'll know it was originally quite lovely...
