(PLEASE CHECK OCTOBER 13, 2009 POST TO VIEW COMPLETED CANVAS NOW TITLED
“FIRST LIGHT” –“DONDE NACE LA VIDA” (UNDERPAINTING) — NEW 48″X60″ Original Oil on Fine Belgian Linen — Started the drawing for this canvas in late May. Tomorrow I will post the photo of this underpainting with the first layer of glazes. Have passed the canvas 15/25 times a day as it stands on the wall directly across from my easel — realize that I want to change things — I want the mood to change – a dreamier feeling, perhaps. At this stage in a painting, I have a picture in my head of what I want it to be — once the painting takes over, it’s out of my control — the canvas evolves and it just “becomes”. In the next couple of weeks I will post the “pentimenti” — the changes. You are invited to follow this Work in Progress to it’s finish…….DC
