“CANCION DEL SOL” – 30″x60″ Underpainting – New Work in Progress – Original Oil on Belgian Linen. Have had this large painting in mind and heart for about five years now, and I am very excited to have gotten it down on canvas this week. Now I have two large format pieces in the works, with two more that I plan to “block” in this weekend. What I love about putting down several underpaintings at a time is that each morning when I “bounce” through that door toward the easel, I just choose whichever one excites me that day. Eventually it all gets done…..large canvases are as delightful as a big, heavy book one cannot stop reading — it is even a little sad on the day of completion!
