It's bloody hot here, and my studio is not air conditioned so it wasn't a great choice to start painting today.
But- out I went to the back yard, knitter's thumb strapped, supervised by the ever vigilant Larry, and I started anyway....
Here's my boy, keeping an eye on me as always...
NOT...
It's been at least 4 years since I last started a painting, so I must admit I was a bit tense... The blank canvas is a scary thing.
But- I solved that problem by starting on a pretty big canvas I picked up from the local church op shop for the bargain price of $2. Gotta love church op shops! You can see the original painting of a rose in a vivid magenta colour.... I only thought to take a photo of it after I had already started playing around on it....
I then started the layering process, and here's some sections that appealed to me as they appeared:
I only had an hour or so to spend on it, and the painting will evolve over time, but it's a start... So the end of the session saw the canvas looking like this....
I sure had a great time, even though it was 37 degrees Celcius!
And Larry???
The excitement was just too much for him.....
