Erin and I have been going through my old clayboard paintings from the early 2000s. I used to love to paint on clayboard as it was a smooth, quick-drying surface. Now most of my work is done in Photoshop, which is a different kind of fun and takes up much less space. I used oils at the time because acrylics dried too fast. I also painted in blue & white instead of black & white because we learned in art school that you shouldn’t even own black paint- you’re supposed to mix it. So I will dub these paintings my ‘Blue Period.’
