Waiting

Winsor & Newton, Rembrandt, Old Holland

Pigment, ground fine, linseed refined, redolent turp

Chrome yellow, cadmium red, flake white

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Fabriano, Arches, Strathmore

Rags shredded, pressed, bleached, deckled

Hot press, cold press, toothy

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Brushes, fan, sable, Kolinsky

Caps twisted, tubes squeezed, water

Swirl, mix, dip

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Done, empty, full.
