Progress

I got back to the studio and that painting looked better in the light of a new day. However, I decided to forget about theme show stuff and just lay down paint. I worked on the other prepped panel with other colors. So far neither are finished but I will get back to them later.

For the past two days I've been working on a 48 x 48 acrylic canvas..............got  a couple of layers on with a detail pic and a distance pic.... Will post more when it gets more layering of paint.  Looks like another Meander series painting to me....we will see as I progress but the bones are there.

Good and bad

Another good, sunny day around here. It's really nice to have after all the gray, drizzly ones. However, I guess even sunny days don't bestow good painting days every time. This was one of those days.

Not that it was terribly bad...........but I just don't feel good yet about what I want on this panel. That's what I get for having an inkling of an idea to start with. I gotta tell you I HATE themes. I had an idea for something along the lines of a show to enter for later in the year.....but ideas just never look and feel like what you thought they would. Oh well... if these don't work out... I have something else that I can enter in that show.

I haven't even done anything to the other panel but prep and lay down the first layers of plain medium. Maybe I should get over to it and work and leave this one alone.
