" A Shoulder to Lean On"

---

20 x 24" oil painting on wood panel

AN ACT OF KINDNESS inspired this painting.
It celebrates the goodness in us to comfort
one another during troubled times.
A shoulder to lean on always lightens the load,
and I hope this painting represents
​comfort and kindness to you. ​

Palette

I always use a limited palette of no more
​then two yellows, two reds,
​two blues, and white.
The clear gel on the far right is 
​Gamblin's Solvent-Free Gel

Brushes and Easels

I clean my brushes first with oil and then follow up with Savvy soap brush cleaner.
I have three easels and like to have several paintings going at once so I don't get bogged down during the painting process.

Brake Winch

A brake winch in mounted on the back
of my easels to keep the panels at
​a comfortable level. ​
