Found Treasures
My home and a small portion of my studio recently underwent a remodel. As a result I was forced to do a lot of reorganizing and moving around. As a bonus, my studio did expand a little in size!
While doing some deep cleaning and organizing I found these two canvases that have not seen the light of day in a long time.
Here they are, on my work bench, a quick glimpse...
It's been awhile since I've played with acrylics on canvas. I painted these while I was attending college and working at the local art store here in Olympia, WA. At the time I was doing a lot of painting. Finding these two have really given me a bug to paint. I want to "burn the midnight oil" like my painting teacher use to say for encouragement to put the extra time into our work.
It's not that I don't paint, I do a fair amount of hand painting on clocks. But I'd like to paint something framable. So I have begun to pull out the blank canvases I've stretched in the past that never got used. Now they are front and center in my studio, stark -white, blank canvases that scream with ideas and anticipation. Perhaps my bug will sink it's teeth in soon (or I'll find the oil) and I will cover those worthy canvases with my brush strokes.
