Painting in Progress Images…

The gesso phase of a canvas is just UNINTERESTING but a necessary step. Even when the quality canvases have "primed 3 times" on them, well, I'm still priming it. The paint sits better on the canvas, the surface isn't so grainy. So I'm not doing a picture of a white canvas getting gesso'd with white gesso. Sort of wax on wax off. Fairly boring. Gesso, watch it dry, gesso, watch it dry.


1-9-2021 15x30 Heavy Duty Wrapped Canvas - I liked my light reflected in the wrap
More to come...I'm watching gesso drying...


1-10-2021 "rough draft" - the point is get a basic idea of placement and start filling in

1-11-2021 it is starting to look like something

1-11-2021 long way to go but the stars of the show are starting make an appearance

1-11-2021 late in the evening now, back at it tomorrow. I'm liking it and hope you all do too!


11-12-2021 Koi Pond in Louisa, Virginia is coming along. How many fish do you see?

11-13-21 A few more things to do and probably some shadow tweaking (or twerking) and finalize the edges. Final photos will be when completed. I had an idea for something too...
