Painting an Angel :: McAusland Studios

Painting an Angel around 1992: In this old, improperly exposed image, one can see me working on a huge canvas. This is a rare shot as there are only a handful of images of me working, ever, especially way back in the early 1990s prior to digital photography. Note the giant speaker next to my head , probably blasting out punk music, the CBC news, perhaps Enya or some other new age stuff that was conducive to painting such subject matter. also, note the palette I was using; a meat packing tray, well cleaned, with another one to match. I would spray mist the paints when done for the session then place another tray onto it, strap them together with elastics and then place the now covered pallet in a dampened plastic bag. sometimes I'd use the same acrylics for months, saving money, allowing me to keep pre-mixed paint, and going easier on the environment.
The painting shown here is rolled up someplace in my Kamloops Studio.
