Tuesday

I finished off the Metz Cathedral painting. So now I can put it aside and look at in a few days to see what more it needs.

This afternoon I was going to work more on the frames that I am designing. I came up with a plaster relief pattern that will go around the inside edge of the frame. With modeling clay I made a rope pattern and then a silicone mold of that, so now I can just pour plaster into the mold and produce the same design to go around all the frames. I’m in the process of gluing them on to the wood now. Once that is complete I can gesso the entire frame with plaster design and work on the final finish.
