Art Supply stores are in short ‘supply’ today. They tend to inhabit the environs of schools and Universities which have Art departments and classes. I wanted a genuine ‘graph’ background. The kind I ‘grew up’ with, that I saw my Father sketch his plans on before acquiring his contractor’s license. Once I had the background in hand, I purchased the flowers. After arriving home, I retrieved the ‘light box’ from my hall closet. Not sure I will ever let this most prized possession go. Backlight, Toplight. A formula that never fails. Feeling a bit nostalgic this evening about my process. Thanks for allowing me to share.
