Floorcloth

I've had a little break from daily painting this week. Since my studio has carpet on the floor and I tend to sling paint, I decided to make this 4' x 6' floorcloth to stand on. I figure if I drop paint on it, I'll just transform it into another posy. Or a bug or a butterfly. Clever, eh? Of course, the hardest part will be stepping on a work of art that took me several days to create.

This is actually a dropcloth coated with polyurethane, painted with acryclic, then coated again with polyurethane. If I do another floorcloth, it will be on a proper canvas for that purpose, because this stuff was not easy to paint on.

    SSYCHOR ring a bell?
    What about TELECORR?

    You are an artist in explosives?
    Like RON HEVENER- GREYHOUND RACING?
    You must know GARY GUCCIONE and HILARY MELTON BUTCHER?
    Because the blogs all say you are a SYHOUR with
    RGYFR- RGYCO- RGYCA?
    And that's with ONSLYU ?
    And it seems to be about DEWORPH- DDARDST - and just loads of " energy" since you are being called
    HOSLATE with JAKE BUGG.
    He is JEHOSHAPHAT with JEB BUSH - DWYT SCHAR?
    Physicians in PHYTO- COPHYBA?
    And it's VERYTRAF with ROBERTO GROSSATESTA and RENE COLATO?
