New Piece






































I owe a big piece of work.
Trying to get inspired here about something over in Bermuda I can't see anymore.
Trying to find an image with a path that invites you in.

I got all my supplies ready, fluorescent acrylics for the underpainting,
Small glass jars with lids (salsa and pesto),
A few new brushes.

"Bright" - short and strong - is my favorite brush.

The big stretcher is strong and ready.
It was made by my father-in-law as a trade for helping with two tax returns - thanks to my comparative computer savy with online, personal tax-return software.
The big, white, quadruple-primed and sanded surface stares at me in my living room.

It is mid-May, cold and rainy, thank-goodness.
