Painting

I love to paint, when I have something in mind and I need to put it down on canvas it's a release. A release of ideas and old emotions like taking a long bath after digging in the dirt all day, only you get a pretty painting instead of a tub full of mud.

Anatomy of a painting:

 

Starts with white canvas, I started to gesso it black before taking a picture

  

  

After the gesso was dry (which has a similar consistency of acrylic) I was able to kind of paint what I was thinking.

I was in my "zone" so I didn't take pictures as I painted. 

 

But I did when I was done! 

I will stare at it for a few days and fix things I don't like and add to it here and there. I liked painting with just black and white. It was a challenge! 

I made a background for my wheat painting

  

  

Finished! Blue sky is the easiest background to achieve

I will fill up the white with wheat (or try to) when the gooey blue is dry

All this snow happend yesterday morning, it's gone already!
