Animus Caduceus 2



ANIMUS CADUCEUS 2
Another 6' turned post painted and decoupaged, this time with the snakes of the caduceus woven around the face on one side.
I spent the better part of the morning in my new studio, trying to stretch a gallon of very thick and sticky flat white wall paint so that it would cover the whole space. New plasterboard, no primer -- it's a small space, but it sucked up every drop of that gallon. There were areas that looked like catacombs -- I debated about leaving them, but then went for the all-white gallery wall look. If I go in tomorrow and see too many thin spots, I'll have to buy another gallon.
The work moves in on Monday, and I am thinking of putting this piece just inside the door.
