friday painting #47
rain day
36" x 12"
I haven't really done many environment pieces, so I thought a rainy day circus would work with all the rest of the circus pieces. Plus I had those strange size stretcher bars. A close-up of the tent.
I am still struggling to get the knife girl on the canvas, next friday I will get her finished. Here is a shot of her while I was roughing up the base.
a moment::
reading under the cozy covers…my upstairs neighboor comes home…I can hear here stomping into the bedroom and then a pause, as she throws off her shoes onto the floor…must have been that kind of a day. A day when you can't wait to come home and throw off your shoes.::
I hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving.
