ART OF THE DAY
BIRCH 48in. x 48in. Acrylic on canvas 2009
I spent a long time painting this. It's hard to paint a canvas white. I had to first paint it blue to see where the white paint was going, but then the blue was showing through. If I did it again, I'd use a light grey base... it's really got a beach feel to it and there is a releif to the surface it's surprisingly warm looking. I'd keep this one if I could. I may do another one similar for my September show.
