No room for big paintings.

It's been five days since my last post.  I guess it's true that time flies when you're having fun.  I've started my fourth pansy, plus two other paintings meant for specific shows I hope to get juried into.

The project I'm enjoying most is a painting that will be four foot by six foot when it's done.  The interesting part about it is that it's painted on one foot square canvases that will be put together when it's finished.  I will undercoat and paint each panel separately so that the finished painting shows slight differences on each panel.  I've been wanting to paint a big picture for a long time but I paint in my diningroom so space is limited.  My inspiration came from Jeff Cohen but I'm doing a few things different.  I'm undercoating as I go and drawing with paint, one canvas panel at a time.  Jeff draws his complicated scenes in detail in the beginning and then paints his square tiles one at a time.  I am not nearly as good as Jeff but maybe someday...

Since I haven't finished any paintings, I'm posting one of my drawing practice pictures. It was just practice, therefore it isn't finished to where it would be if I planned on keeping it. The goal was to use lines to figure out the size and position of different elements. The tin is old and bent.  

 I hope you have a great day.
