I can’t believe a full week has gone by in the studio.  I’ve been working on a few different larger paintings and it feels so good.  I also took a step back from the drawing and actually painted on canvas.  It felt so good to have that once again, to just know how the paint was going to react.  I like working on the flat boards because they give me a slickness and a more watery look, but I do love the feel of a brush touching a canvas.

So here’s what I’ve been up to:
