Shelter for Wandering Spirits                       ….had forgotten.   that's what i used to call them.   remembering how much i used to love making them.   here,  just tried the Inktense       Paynes Grey       back then it was oils…..but,  Paynes Grey then too.  Wish i had the oils.   They were pretty much spent tubes that my beloved friend Marge gave me.   and Crimson Lake.    Oy….i googled…."it originally meant the color of the kermes dye produced from a scale insect, Kermes vermilio   AND it is the national color of Nepal.         and then…..Mars Violet    composed of earth and iron.    loved the smell of turpentine…..would bleed the colors in the same way i bleed the Inktense now.   the sap of the Pines here…that gets on everything it can….what gives turpentine.
