Applied a stain of acrylic over one coat of gesso.
Sanded that and think I will just apply matte Acrylic as ground instead of Oil which I used to do, as it is destructive of canvas over time.
Im starting out with Rothko it seems.
I've visited the Rothko Chapel since 1979, maybe before. But also another thought-- I knew Newman's Ulysses since 1978 which I knew from Christophe de Menil's house in Amagansett . It was signed in that cray way at the bottom Barnett Newman 1952, my birthdate.
Ulysses is a painting of blue stained paint now in Houston.
I made Woman with Clothes Blowing in the Wind in 1986.
