This picture shows a canvas waiting to be started. The canvas is 48 inches wide and 60 inches
tall. Am I nervous? Yes.
Am I intimidated? Yes, that too. But,
I am also excited about the prospect of pushing into uncharted territory. This will be the largest painting I have ever
tackled. I did finish one that is 30x60
and I must admit that I had the same feelings then.
There has been some preparation needed before I can
begin. I have visited the hardware store
to purchase some larger rollers than those that I have used in the past. Since I make a number of stamps that I use
for texture, I made one that is 8.5x11 in. to try to work within the scale of
the canvas. Additionally, I have been
scavenging things that may be used as texture tools. As I progress on this painting, I will post
pictures of some of the tools that I am using.
I feel certain that this is a painting that will take some
time, planning and evaluation along the way. I hope you will check back and
enjoy the journey with me.
