The salt trick is too much fun! ↑ Here is “Eternally Snowing — Winter, 2014”, sprinkled with very coarse salt. Our Wisconsin world!
But every year about now I begin dreaming, and my dreams morph into paintings. Voilà “Windy Summer Day” ↓ . This one was embellished with Kosher salt.
After the painting dries the salt is scraped off, leaving textural marks plus a bit of “shine”. The coarser the salt, the more of a job it is to remove. A credit card works well for scraping, but hopefully not the card which is currently being used. 🙂
